I have no trouble imagining this. We are a unique breed. An individually unique breed.

as a (relative) newbie, I prefer to squabble over why we should make mousepad a default and have Kate (et al) taken out and shot.

You put forth valid arguments, which are not generally tolerated here.
Can't you rant like a loon instead? Make a few snide comments about Windows? Take a poke at Mac users? (I had to stop picking on Macs when they went x86 and BSD but Mac *users* are still fair game :)

SPEAKING OF MACS...
I have to purchase two for a remote office. I got them to write down exactly what they want because I wouldn't know one if it fell on me. I'm a Dell guy but for some strange reason, they won't sell me any Macs. Who is a large, fair Mac dealer with a good reputation? The machines will not be connected to our WAN and the office has been advised we cannot support them, so they may or may not need support.

Thanks.
