It is a good pic. Don't know though.

That's cute overload material.

Re: Mac VS. Pc
I am a thorough mac fan. Love my machine. And I love these kinds of things. I just bought my new grandson a bib that has "iBib" printed on it. And my daughter an "iMom" shirt, and my son an "IDad" shirt. And they are excited and can't wait to wear them. But it bothers me that we seem to think so little of our macs that we can't enjoy them and brag about them without saying things about Microsoft? Some of the statements in the second presentation above are arguable at best, and certainly do not necessarily represent the way all mac people want to look or be identified. Example is the lines about Bill gates end. I am not a Bill Gates fan, but I also am not a fan of some of Steve's behavior, and argue that those lines could be flipped. Another way to put it is I really enjoyed buying those shirts, but passed on the one that said "I'm a Mac,,, And you're an idiot."
I would like to enjoy my mac, and my mac web sites, and my mac friends, without the implication that I must behave or look a certain way.
This is not a really important point (neither is any of the rest of the thread, in my opinion), but I just think we leave a lot on the table when we fail to just enjoy the positives of what the Mac represents... all by itself. We don't need the crutch of making fun of someone else, especially when it may not be exactly true.
Regards as always.

Re: Mac VS. Pc
Well, after being hit first you tend to revel in the payback. For years both users and IT would disparage me for wanting a Mac, and I brought Macs into a couple of companies where I worked.
Well, maybe that started to level off in the one company where the entire company went down with the Michalangelo virus, and I was the only one still able to work and print, and still on the network. I couldn't get outside of the company because our servers were down, but my Mac was working.
