Don’t feel bad, Audrey. A girl I know wanted to name her vagina, and I told her to name it Handy for the same reason… ANYWAY, just to stay on topic… the eMac: A bit less obnoxious than the new iLamp (although they just came out with a new model of that with REALLY nice specs), although I’m still of the opinion that the best Mac to get is a good ol’ G4 tower. ---

iLamp! hahahahah. I was just saying to someone recently that it looks like a desklamp. ---

Psst, SPOOFE, stop frickin’ mentioning G4 towers in front of Audrey! Between me always upgrading my computer and the number of really cool games that don’t run on her iMac, it’s hard enough to keep her from needlessly spending money as it is! ---

Sorry, KK… [PC Fanatic Mode] A PC is the way to go! Why, it’ll cost you a TENTH the price of a Mac and it’ll give you FIVE TIMES the performance! And it’ll last the rest of your life, and it’ll run 110% of the software in existence, and it’ll make you cappucino and give you blowjobs, too!! [/PC Fanatic Mode] ---

My iMac does all that, and gives me footrubs, too. It even calls me the next day. Sorry. ---
