So Keith Elder has finally switched back to the “Apple is expensive” party line.  Keith and I had numerous “debates” about this topic years ago, and he was *always* quoting the Apple fan line that “spec for spec” Apples are not just competitive with regular PCs but *cheaper*.

Was just discussing the idea of someone playing me in my life story.  The story would also involve me trying to be like that particular celebrity.  So, the celeb would be playing someone who was trying to be like them, but failing at it (for comedic effect).  Or perhaps succeeding.  I dunno.  I call the [...]
