*Sigh*
Dan complained about Steve Jobs _personally_ screwing over Apple by
not including Mac support on their CD-ROM. Oh _wah_.
Disney has been screwing over Mac users for ages now, ever since their
"Blast" website for kids was _Windows-only_.
What i found annoying on Macintouch
(http://www.macintouch.com/newsprevious.html) was this:

Yeah, Steve _loves_ kissing up to the rich and famous. Think
different? Think crappy service unless you're an actor that Steve
likes.
Ungh. But whatever. Apple's on its way out. Heck, that's why all my
main work is done on a Linux box. >:}
But ah, i digress. This is a Windows-Macintosh Cooperation List.
Sorry. Next time, i'll leave the rants at the door.
