The Left "empowers" by attempting to level the playing field, demanding
equal or similar benefits, rewards and lifestyle for everyone by penalizing
those with more than average ambition.

I can put it even simpler - the Right believes in individual wealth as
part of the collective and the Left believes in the collective via
redistribution of individual wealth.

And at this point I feel a rant coming on and I'm just not in the mood

Hey, you're missing out on the next Microsoft antitrust saga.

Thanks for the URLs...the first one explains Silverlight.

For desktops and laptops, Apple these days is fairly competitive with
Microsoft, and seems to be gaining market share. After some months of
using the MS VISTA OS and Apple's OS, I'm closer to becoming
"ambidextrous." I've noticed as many peculiarities with Apple's OS as
with Windoze. Some are "familiar" and some are way different.

One thing about the Apples I really like: the retail stores. I "save up"
my questions and when I visit one of the malls around here with Apple
stores, I just drop in, sign up for a tech chat, and get answers. I like
that much better than the MS support model, which, for mundane stuff,
directs you to someone in India whose English and whose understanding of
technical problems is minimal.

I also think the Apple "hardware" is more elegant than the hardware you
find on "manufactured" Windozes machines.

But I still use Windoze apps to earn my living and use my Apple laptop
mainly for a travel computer and for Aperture 2.1, Apple's version of
Photoshop, to lightly process photos I think need a bit of tweaking.
Aperture is one hell of an application.

Does anybody find it highly amusing that Adobe, who in truth, controls
almost 90% of streaming video via Flash and 75% of the digital
video/imagery/text content on the web via CS3 and Reader is ****ed off
about Silverlight being potential competition?

Talk about the pot caling the kettle black. :)

The Republican's have swayed from their core belief for the last 8 yrs,
which has the potential to chase away the independent voters. They need
to get back to conservative fiscal responsibility, providing an
opportunity to excel and stop pandering to the religious right.

I find "highly amusing" the discussions here about operating systems and
utilities/helper programs, especially the comments about operating
systems certain posters don't use.

I'm less of a fan of Adobe apps than I am of Microsoft apps. The less
"flash" the better.

You really are a hopelessly ignorant dumb foch. I've been messing around
with Mac computers for at least five years, though I didn't get my first
one until earlier this year. One of my long-time clients is a Mac site,
and when I have to work on projects there, I use a MAc, and have since
2002 or so.

As for computer knowledge, it is obvious from your posts here the last
few weeks, you know less about computers than you do about welding or
keeping your children safe.

Don't forget to vote Republican this November. They certainly will NOT
help you resolve your medical issues.

And you are a proven liar and story teller. But you just keep
