I have a bunch of designers at my job, and they all carry around an apple. No not the fruit, you know the vastly overpriced and over-hyped electronics brand. These guys think they are so cool with there notebooks running extremely expensive designer software. I think this is somewhat of a problem with Linux. While Linux is actually a lot cooler then apple, it's not perceived by enough people as being cool.

I did not know that. But as an a@#l grammar nazi, I heartily approve!

I do try to fix the leads, and if I miss something, please let me know.

But I only really have grammatical control over our own content...

I see the language nazis have been here.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...
