(Creaaaakkkk...  Damn, this thing is getting stiff!  strap, click.
 Hisssss...  Pop!  Fooosh...)

	I'm not Mr. Johnson, but I feel that this has gone on long
	enough.  The tone of this group has been that of a discussion
	about various aspects of system design and performance.  The
	incessant babble about what Jobs did right or wrong is
	beginning to grate on my nerves.  This is not the correct
	forum for these types of discussion.  Please take this to
	comp.sys.misc (where I have directed follow ups).  The
	natrue of that group is far more suited to this class of
	discussion.

(squeek, drip, drip...  Damn, I hate flamethrowers which don't shut
 off cleanly).
