Burn the heretic! I bet he's using IE too! Lifetime Ban! Loud Noises! I blame human error also (unofficially, since the aforementioned human is also the client). Even Macs are not human-proof... I think they sneak up on you because they are so easy to use but when something finally does break... it's really broken! Whereas my PC breaks down all the time in small, easily fixable ways. Wait, this is a good thing? Jihad! Burn the heretic! I bet he’s using IE too! Lifetime Ban! Loud Noises!

I can tell that he's an "unbeliever" in things that are clearly holy. I'm assuming God was punishing him. Apparently, the punishment had no effect. You and I will continue to pray for him... by the way, I'm sitting at JFK right now waiting to fly back to SoCal. I've been doing clinics all week here in NY. Walked down to Ground Zero and thought of you being there. I was speechless (for fear that I'd open my mouth to speak and the lump in my throat would run interference). Richt-on, Zack.

Michael Scott is so stupid, he does mean things. Both are very very funny. That's boiling the difference down pretty far... probably scorching the pan. Gareth to Dwight is pretty much a crapshoot for different reasons. But I like most of the American characters better. Now back to the topic at hand, I just launched the largest website I have built. The PCs in the office handled the domain switch with no problems, however the company owner (of course) had a mac, and we spent two days tracking down email issues on that single computer. TWO DAYS that the mac was down when all the PCs in the office were working. Bet you don't see that on a commercial! Bobby David Brent is so mean, he does stupid things.

I can't get enough of the show, so whomever is willing to feed my need becomes the hero here. I like the US because there are more seasons (and it’s still going).
