That's the understatement of the year, Torifile!

I think all of this stuff is utterly and completely pathetic! Of course, corporate mergers and de-mergers/spinoffs have been a source of ridicule and immeasurable corporate waste since the beginning of time. Just think of boondoggles like the HP-Compaq merger or, even worse, AOL's merger with Time Warner!

Thank goodness I don't patronize any of these pathetic companies or -- heaven forbid -- have put any money in their stock!

I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever.
