TIB: Re: Re: Okay, this is just pathetic.




Dude...You seem like the most cool person I've met on the net for the past 4
years..
We agree on most things!

1) Macs basically suck.(maybe more on software/os side of things than on hd)
2) I'm getting my A+, in a month or so.
3) I don't like: Amish, AOL, Proffesional Sports and Art.
4) I hate when people generalize things
5) I beleive that everything is true and everything is false at the same
fucking time..
