Next step in your rehab is for you to buy a Macintosh computer. <g>

I didn't say there was anything wrong with them reporting it.

I said it seemed worse than in the past _because_ they
were reporting it. Actually, it probably was a bit worse.

Three factors:

1. Because the election was closer, BOTH sides had more motivation
to apply dirty tricks. Which they certainly did.

2. Because the election was closed, the media had more motivation
to expose all the shenanigans.

3. Because of technology, there were a lot more opportunities
to find out about some of those shenanigans.

Buy online from www.crucial.com which is where Apple buys RAM from.

He combines the vices of both parties with the virtues of neither.

No; he has neither helped nor hindered him. If the non-voter did not
exist at all, the outcome would be no different.

Anyone adversely affected by the actions of the politician has the
standing to complain.

And I'm stuck with him. But he's not nearly as bad as our junior
senator, Jon Kyle.

If McCain gets the GOP nomination in 08, his senate seat is Napolitano's
for the taking if she wants it.

In 02, she won the governorship by a squeaker (51.x%), but in 06, she
won with more than 70% of the vote

An accurate point, of course, from the objective point of view. At
least when talking about election. With referenda, not voting is
essentially the same as a no vote. The viewpoint from the politically
passionate tends to be "you voted against the loser if you didn't vote"
even though logically- and mathematically- incorrect.

I hope you had no trouble figuring out my typo.
The election was not "closed" -- it was _closer_
(than other elections)

And if it fails, they may tell you to press DEL while booting the
Machine to setup some BIOS settings Happened to a friend...

I would prefer a store with neccessary mac expertise even if I would
install RAM myself. At least they would know what "Apple Hardware Test"
is

Crucial seems to know Mac business.
