Hmmm... I have heard Rush talk about Mac many times over the years, I 
have *never* IIRC, heard him say that Apple's sales would quadruple 
overnight using his program. Perhaps you could furnish that quote, 
including date and time?

If you can do that, and I bet you can't, can you tell us how you know 
that that is what he really believes will happen, as opposed to using 
rhetorical exaggeration to emphasize a point?

Just because you disagree with someone does not make them an idiot, 
nor make them dishonest, as was agreed to by all concerning another 
thread here. But making such a readily demonstrable false judgement 
does reflect poorly as to your level of intolerance for opposing 
viewpoints.
