You really seem to take pride in making an ass out of yourself, you 
know that?

Did it occur to you that I might have more than just iBooks in my 
house, Mr. Jump To Conclusions?

It the paragraph prior to the one you quoted, it was made clear that I 
was talking about my clamshell iBooks ONLY. The quoted paragraph is 
100% accurate regarding my personal feelings about OS X on *clamshell* 
iBooks, which are limited to 800x600 screens.

I also own a couple of G3 iMacs, a G3 "white" iBook, and a flat-panel 
17" G4 iMac. All of *those* machines run OS X extremely happily.

Let me know what shoe size you wear so I can send you the correct 
foot-in-mouth remover.

??? You're joking, right? iCab is "bloated?" Chimera is "bloated?" 
Really, I had no idea.

Can we just call you "Captain Credibility" from now on?
