Never! We will fight you on the beaches, we will fight you in the fields, we will fight you in the streets! At the current rate of the Mac's market share increase, M$ will be history by 2016ish or thereabouts! Running scared, Fake Ballmer? Ha! FUD won't help you now!

iMacs seem real enough to me, as does my all time favourite (yes, its even better than an iMac), and thats a RiscPC - Acorn made some lovely computers. And then there's the C64 (still real)...

i dont get it Steve. youre scared of apple cos they sell computers? but plenty of mac users with newer macs own a license for windows... so you got their money anyway... and more of it cos its not subsidised... where exactly are you losing out to Apple?

Instead of attacking I will psychoanalyze you people's disorder!
Yes I do believe that using Apple software leads to mental illness, many do.
Dr. Phil is on the payroll, I cunsult him and get back to you iTards.
Srrry about the bad spelling. I'm tired.

Self examination is the first step. I'm sure Dr. Phil can help you.

Poor potty training would explain a lot. Wasn't that chair he threw actually a large adult sized potty chair?

Yup, it was. Except it was a XXXL given the size of Mr Ballmer.
Let me revive a old joke here for our chair tossing troll.
"The box said 'Windows XP or better' so I got a mac."

Well, I did consult with Dr. Phill.
The entire time that I was ranting and railing, complaining about you people to him he would just stare at me and say "ummm fascinating".
When I finished (1 hour) he just said "ummmm fascinating".
I insisted, "Phil, what am I to do about these little mac people? They are everywhere! They are trying to destroy me! They are burrowing into my skull, I see and hear them everywhere I go!"
He looked at his watch, sighed and muttered, "This is going to take several more sessions before we can figure out what to do about these pesky Mac-people burrowing into your skull, I'm going to have to consult with several of my coleages on this one, but we will get you some help Steve! These little mac-people will not win."
I go back next week, you people are in trouble!

Holy cow, I just realized that Steve Baller and Dr. Phil are almost twins! Does Dr. Phil's receptionist ever walk in during your session and accidently tell you that another one of your patients is suing you for malpractice? Or, does your secretary ever kick open Dr. Phil's door and slap a sexual harassment suit on him? You could probably save a lot of money by having your therapy sessions with Dr. Phil in a mirror in your executive washroom.

Was that supposed to be funny?
btw: I don't have therapy sessions with Phil, he is a friend who just helps me brainstorm about how to get rid of or convert you people!
