[RWP] My Next Investment, a Wreck of a Mac

[Indigo]

Well, that's what I read, that recordings are the same on PC's and Macs.
Yet, I still hear much louder much clearer recordings done on Macs.
I'll find a way, don't like Apple Corp, hate Microsoft too.
Just went through a big update crisis with Windows 7, almost stopped 
working.
Now I have 140 updates I didn't want, takes 2 or more minutes to 
uninstall each, all of them have to do with some Microsoft office 
suite's security holes that absolutely don't affect me.
MS is a dictator, turns Windows updates back on when I have it shut off.
Please don't say I should bunk over and recieve MS updates, that I 
really need them, that I should keep quiet and take them, like a dose of 
castor oil.
My wife has an iPod, and her computer is now so full of Apple Store, 
iTunes, and inegmatic apple files, and, guess what, the stupid iPod now 
has quit working after 2 years.
How's that for a quality product?
