[long rant about the stupidity of MacUser magazine]

I have to agree with you on this one, Derek.  
I remember a column in macuser somewhere a while back that OOOOZED and GUSHED
over the WONDERFUL mac portable.  You know, the one they use in the weight
room...the well-lit weight room.

This magazine makes me gag...I'm glad I didn't subscribe based on the     
accounts of its followers...
