Its a nice jail though. Furloughs, gourmet food, exercise gym, swimming pool, golf course... and now even Assistants. Its the kind of jail mentioned by the protagonist (Bukowski/Micky Roarke) in Barfly: "Its a cage, its a guilded cage, but its still a cage." One thing about it that is nice is that no viruses are allowed in. Intruders *TRY* to break INTO this jail and fail.

Actually, no, as I said my Mac can run Unix programs and Linux programs, which really don't owe their existence to Windows. Phones and tablets are a different matter. I wasn't talking about them. But I will say that the "jail" my iPhone locks me into means that I have access to far more software than you have on your Android, and I am also secure in the knowledge that the software has been tested and found to be functional and free of malware. Of course, I can get that kind of security with a Kindle Fire, too. ;-) The Fire doesn't give me access to anywhere near as many applications, though. But this is silly. I'm wasting my time here. Have a nice day. Sorry the big joke you were laughing about earlier turned out to be a bust. Message 27691779
