Well, ultimately, there are a number of people to blame.
What I'm hoping for is that people use the new Mac PC's and go "WTF
can't other PCs do that?" That will force most PCs to adopt firmware
that is just as capable as Mac.
What us "UNIX wennies" have been used to with Sun OpenBoot, Digital SRM,
etc... for years.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you. Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them). Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work. ;->
