Personally, I don't have a problem with Windows or OSX, but the iPad has to be one of the dumbest things I've seen come off the line in a long time.
A giant iPhone without the phone, sheer genius. Jobs' thyroid cancer must be affecting his brain. Holly Grail? Only in the sense of a mythical object that a lot o resources were wasted on trying to find.

So the iPad3 will be called "the g-spot"?

/ducks

That's actually pretty easy to find.
I just find labeling the iPad as the "Holy Grail" to be a bit ludicrous.
Hell, I don't even want one. I could see owning one of those smaller 7" Android tablets, but the iPad is stupid sized.

Not to give the thread another raspberry, but given a choice between the iPad and a pair of shoes, I'd take the shoes too (and I'm not a woman stupid or otherwise).

And the slavish devotion to Apple is cult-like. That's the really creepy part - Night of the Living Dead Apple Fanatics.

Yup... and so does this one... :(

Still I've found something new to complain about in that new AmigaOS.net thread so I'm happy now that I can complain that some of the things said there sux too... :D

Love the choice of music for the website though (that sux not).

I've found the actual holy grail.
I've managed to use a emulator to run this Color Computer 3 demo.

Ooh! Bouncy, bouncy colored ball.

And all I needed was 1000 times the CPU speed to run this 1.79Mhz computer's demo.
