I've also used Linux (Ubuntu), and more recently Macintosh. I actually like all 3 of them, but at the moment I prefer Macintosh. I don't prefer it because of sound and fury. I prefer it because I've used it, and I like it. The implication in your post is that my preference is based solely on the fact that I've been brainwashed. If that were the case, I would have adopted it long ago, given the longevity of this campaign. In fact, it wasn't until a Macintosh was placed in front of me a year and a half ago that I began to like it. Regarding the tablet, I think the appeal *is* the UI. If the true innovators have already produced such a device, then I am simply not aware of it. Please share the details. I’ve used Windows most of my life.

The options are; because the sausages arrived at the imbisses as link sausages (Kette=link); there is cat involved either in the process of making, or as a “clever” pun against the nasty capitalist-imperialist hot dog; or, more mundanely, that the Ketwurst is a wurst with Ket-chup. Unfortunately, Bad Scene believes the last one to be boringly true.
