SpaceBoy Full Member USA 631 Posts	Posted - 20 Apr 2002 : 11:06:44 I think that it's just because we know that the Mac is the most stable system- as in, "gee, the system didn't crash and ruin all my hard work!", and "gee, this pile of Macs didn't topple over and kill me or my cat! These things are swell!". On the other hand, stacking a bunch of new iMac G4's would be a real challange! SpaceBoy AppleBASIC FOREVER!

bigsadhu Junior Member Cayman Island 462 Posts	Posted - 21 Apr 2002 : 04:10:22 quote: Foster's Austrailian for Beer Ahem, I feel I must stand up for the pride of the aussie beer drinker here. In actuality, Fosters is very rarely drunk downunder. Instead, it is rammed down foreigners throats as the "authentic aussie drop". Not so. The most widely appreciated beer in Australia is in fact Victoria Bitter, better known as VB, Vitamin B, or Veebers. Not to say that VB is the best aussie beer. Unfortunately, this country takes after the US in the way that marketing, not quality is the main contributing factor in a product's success. My personal nominations for best of the south would have to be Redback (wheat beer from Perth), Little Creatures (an extraordinary live beer, also from WA), or Great White, from Chuck Hahn's Malt Shovel Brewery here in Sydney. Then of course there's always Steinlager - a fine kiwi drop that is very hard to beat around the barbie. Budwater just doesn't make the radar down here. Thank god. Cheers!

Got MacStacks? jt ™. . p.s. i think these piles result from the coincidental similarities the 68kMLA membership has to what mother nature's twisted sensibilities might develop as a verterbrate parallel to the anthill. she'd probably take a perverse delight in developing a hybrid near-colony of rodents combining the instinctive, wantonly eclectic hoarding activity of packrats with the cool methodology of the cooperative, industrious, and playful activities so natural to gregarious beavers who she has diabolically driven to the very edge of insanity by adding into this mix, the metabolically imposed varacious appetites cruelly enforcing an unnatural solitary nature upon the shrew! p.p.s. mother nature = the Edited by - Trash80toG-4 on 22 Apr 2002 11:22:01

It's one of those pics that I found-somewhere... on a CD of images, I think. I wanted my page to be a bit stark, without computer-looking imagery, hence the text that's white-on-white, with only a glow 'round it.
