Wasn't Todd's response also satirical (maybe I'm cynical, I was SURE it was)? I resisted temptation earlier, but now that there's been other comment, I can no longer resist noting that the original "The IIgs+ causes brain damage" post reminded me of an article published a decade or so ago in a regional economics journal. In that article someone had run a correlation analysis comparing the geographic distribution of mobile homes against the incidence of tornados. The result supported the hypothesis that mobile home parks attract tornados (at the 99% confidence interval). But of course, those of you in Oklahoma and Missouri already knew that. --------------------- Disclaimer: The "look and feel" of this message is exclusively MINE!
