    Well, if you get a new Apple you'll be on a PC next year. See
    the news on Apple dropping PPC and moving to x86.

    Not all x86 boxes are PCs, certain Sequent products being an extreme example.

    /me has noted the other End Signs such as Sarge being released
    and a BMW letting him out this morning.

    Hmm, I had a polite one on Friday evening too. Pulled out of a
    queue of traffic into a bus lane in front of me without looking
    causing me to brake hard to avoid a collision. At the next set of
    lights I stopped and politely[1] suggested he pay a bit more attention
    to which he was terribly apologetic and non the least defensive.

    Even tooted his horn and waved in a friendly way when he overtook
    me a little later.

    The Rapture is imminent.

    Pete.
    [1] By which I actually mean politely, rather than a euphemism
    for "let fly with a stream of abuse".

    Only yesterday a woman coming out of a side road made a determined effort
    to deck me: I wagged a finger at her, and slid past. She pulled up
    alongside at the next junction: I was expecting "That was your fault,
    that was", but got "I'm *so* sorry..."

    Can you feel the Spirit moving among us, ladies and gentlemen?

    Not really. It makes me nervous. They're up to something, mark my words...
