I like where this is going. Let's spend several pages revealing our utter contempt for one another. It should be precious.

and being so close to the monitor or even TV screens may lead to headache if you do it too long.

Why did I immediately think of that Windows 98 BSOD incident when I read this thread (and more importantly, why did no one say it)?
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Hey, I had a blue screen the other day when I installed Chrome. I was able to reboot normally, but It scared the living shit out of my pants. I'm never going to 'touch' Chrome again. Chrome is probably awesome, but when it blue's your XP pro system :roll:
Anyway IE6 all the way since IE7 and IE8 have visual blurry filters like a bad ps2 port. It looks hideous. But probably nobody noticed it. I did and when I did the side by side compare I laughed my ass off, but was angry at the same time. Why does 'new' sometimes mean it is worst than before? And why do people not care if something new is worst? they want new, regardless if it is worst or not. IE7 and IE8 look like I need glasses.

I managed to install 7 last night, had to deal with a bunch of extra crap to get x64 on my macbook pro thanks to stupidity on MS and Apples part. It's pretty nice though, but some things got way faster while others are way slower which is pretty aggravating.

I saw Windows ME freeze up during an official demonstration in front of a PC user's group. (I know it's ME right? Probably anyone who has seen it has seen it crash)

My latest laptop has a touchscreen. It's not that helpful for general usage but when I want to draw a diagram or write some kanji in the IME pad then it's nice to be able to use the stylus instead of touchpad/mouse.
why do people not care if something new is worst?
Some people will never be convinced that "round" really is the best shape for a wheel, and they will continue to re-invent it again and again, because they don't actually know what a wheel is used for.
