Inspired by Jeremy, I dug up an old Facebook tag. For those of you used to expecting distinguished and profound posts from me, you’ll be so disappointed… For those of you who know me, this will assure you that I am still not distinguished and profound.

Jon: So… Bill, most people are saying that Windows Vista of 2007 looks suspiciously like Macintosh Panther of 2002.

Bill: That’s all we’ve ever done, Jon. From the mouse to a user-friendly system.
Jon: So who come you guys have more market share?
Bill: We cheat. We steal. We monopolize.
Jon: Oh.
Bill: By the way, I love those Apple commercials with the PC guy.
Jon: Yea, they’ve been more popular than the Intel commercials with the blue-faced dudes, haven’t they?
Bill: (Phone rings) Whups, gotta go, Jon. Seems like there’s a small snafu contained in Vista that deletes a person’s soul. We’ll get that taken care of with a bloated security update. Have a nice day.
Jon: Uh, yea. You too, Bill.

On this day...

But no, I wrote it, sweetheart. Just how proud of me are you? ;)
