    ha ha ha, that study is great. i got a kick out of it.



    actually, the nice thing is that this makes it more likely that web pages will start being multi platform. you should see less of that stupid IE 6 on a PC only type of garbage.



    although many people loathe marketers, they can be our salvation online.

    Who needs a "status symbol" when you can get a cool computer from a kiosk with a bunch of <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/zd/20020711/tc_zd/942928"; target="_blank">"As seen on TV"</a> stickers on it.



    Look kids, it's one of them there Popeil computers! Oh wait, is that a Dell pocket fisherman? <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />



    Yeah, I'm cool, I didn't get my computer cause it helps me do a lot of great stuff, or because the store I bought it at had great service. I got it from QVC cause it was cheap. It came with a free Travel Steamer. They have great cubic zirconias and faux furs on there too (cause sometimes you want a status symbol, but just don't wanna pay for it).
