I'm with ya, Don. I've never appreciated being asked, "Mac or PC?" What, a Mac's not a PC? IBM trademarked the words "personal computer"? It's always just been trendspeak.

WTF did he yell "contact" of all words? I could come up with a hunnert better words than "contact." |
The guy in the cockpit was making "contact" in a switch that engaged the magnetos. It was a warning so the prop guy didn't get his arm lopped off.

Thats all good and whatnot but what about that other 1% ?!?! I mean what is this mysterious 1% that nothing can kill? Have we contacted the CDC about this 1% cuz it must be so horribly dangerous that nothing can kill it! |
They say they kill less that 100% not so much because some critters are unkillable, but because even non-porous surfaces offer protective hideouts. Also, it takes some threshold number of virii to infect a person. One won't do it.
You can stop setting things on fire now.
