[P1] truth in advertising

[Robert Newman]

Rush is very pro Mac.  I know that it may upset some on this list, but 
I have been a listener for several years.  He influenced me in two ways 
that I think are positive.  One, he convinced me that I shout exercise 
my right to vote (Republican, of course!)  And secondly, that I should 
try a Mac.  I would not even touch one before.  Now I have gotten rid 
of all of my Windows machines (my last laptop is now listed on eBay) No 
I do not walk in lock-step with Rush, but when he makes sense, I do 
consider it.  He once said "It is o.k. to have an open mind, if you do 
not let your brains fall our!"
