LOL, I thought it was funnier than hell when the Huston Astros had to change the name of their ballpark because of the Enron scandal.
SpaceMonkey:
indeed, and yet a prime and unfortunate example of corporate dominace.

oh come on! that's bullshit and you know it!
so what you're saying is that of course all that hardware is EXACTLY comparable?
bull fucking shit.
What if you already own a mac and you already own an i686? then which is the better deal?
what if your uncle has died and left you a thousand bucks ON CONDITION that you spend it only on Microsoft software, then which works out cheaper.
what if you spend ten minutes with your head submerged in ice cold water and then go out to the computer shop? then which is the better deal?
hey, there's an idea! why not try that last one and post back here with your results? :D
your post reminds me of those mathematical proofs that 1=2 and all that crap.
