In the spirit of continuing to vocalize my Mac fanaticism (some might even say fetish, but I haven't gone that far with any piece of computer hardware), I call all compy users Mac and PC to mourn the loss of one of the computing world's greatest, Jef Raskin .
Raskin went on to work with Canon, designing the Canon Cat�a powerful word processor that included many unique ideas for data manipulation and that was based in part on his concept of the Mac.
Yeah good job, Steve. Raskin's gone and now you're implementing his strategy of affordable, efficient computing technology and jukeboxes . And of course Jobs will get all the credit for resurrecting Apple when it wouldn't even need to be brought back if he'd listened to Raskin in the first place and not made Apple computers so exclusive. But I digress. This is not a time to point fingers. We've lost a Raskin. Be sad. If it weren't for him you'd all be executing commands in a terminal. Especially you PC kids.

Whatever, Berny; some of us happen to like command lines -- they're cleaner, they're cooler, and they give you the chance to make a single typo that permanently eradicates all your data and melts your spleen from within.
