Well, yea, kinda... you'll notice that none of the postings have been from the
companies themselves. At least i dont THINK Norm Goodger gets a paycheck from

so we may post about new upgrades regarding the Mac. That could be commercial
too in some sense. Am I making any sense? Probably not... but i tried...
