Gosh! I thought God was everywhere. That he could hear my prayers. Even read
my mind.  Send an email??  Does anyone really believe God reserves time to
read his daily email?    And I thought I had this all figured out : (

I think God has a Dell, judging by how often I invoke His name when trying
to use mine. Those 120 hours I've spent trying to fix it since Dec 20
haven't done a lot of good. For example, I'll be amazed if this posts at
7:12 PM U.S. West Coast time.

I think I.P. is onto something. I recently got a Dell, and find that I now

> One word of advice: Apple.

But how do we cut through the "Ford vs Chevy" BS and determine whether Apple
is ACTUALLY far more stable? Have you seen any sound, impartial, support for
that claim? I'm days from committing to spending as much on a PC as my new
1965 GTO cost me, and I'd very much like some non-anecdotal evidence that
Macs are significantly more stable than PCs.

(Sure, this is OT, but I think the topic implies that, so adding "OT" to the
topic would be redundant.)

I understand that Macs integrate their hw and sw from the ground up, while
Windows just creates an artificial, virtual shell to hide the fact that it's
a wolf wearing a sheepskin emulation. I know Macs are inherently better with
graphics; my time in the magazine industry verified that. And I know
painfully well what POS my two Dell Windows machines have been and what
incredibly, criminally, infuriatingly, abominable service Dell provides. And
my 1992 Mac still flat SINGS. But that's anecdotal.

Can anyone point me to some large-scale facts in time to stop me from making
yet another computer purchase fiasco? (Don't sing me the "Mac sw is so
limited" song; I just want stability. Everything else is just icing on the
cake.)

I.P.
Steve Kramer - 05 Jan 2006 00:23 GMT
I know you don't like anecdotal evidence, but I have been using PCs since
1981.  Then, I was "appointed" to the position of IT expert for about 5
years.  I have used TRS-DOS on Tandy PC, DOS and Windows on PCs, and Macs.
I set up LANs with PCs and Macs and I instructed executives in the use of
PCs and high schoolers and grandparents in the use of Macs.

My opinion is Macs are far more stable.  However, I use a PC and will not
likely change in this lifetime.  Macs are just too limited in their
applications.

That's why I bought my first Dell (to replace my 1992 Mac); I wanted to run
Dragon speech recognition sw on my computer, and Mac didn't host it yet.
That expensive sw still sits on my closet shelf, unopened, because I figured
that a PC that won't run an HP printer, a Canon scanner, or Outlook Express
sure as hell isn't going to run demanding speech recognition sw.

> My opinion is Macs are far more stable.

That's the conclusion I'm leaning towards, even though my old Mac used to
freeze fairly often. My sw demands could be handled just fine by even that
old Mac if it weren't too slow for today's internet. It boots in 15-20
seconds rather than many minutes, but I have to wind its spring REALLY tight
to keep up with a dial-up connection.

More anecdotal chatter, the co.I work for has 100 +/- Dell laptops that are
virtually problem free except for the occasional user caused problems. They
are not consumer line machines and support is in English, on the other hand,
my sister purchased a consumer line Dell laptop that should be used for a
doorstop.

Last week a professor at a local comunity college was removed as director of
the college newspaper for her failure to keep up with technology. She
refused to allow anything but a Apple to be used with the papers operation.
Yes, she's tenured and continues to teach.

Steve, you Apple people just don't understand the hidden medical benefit of
owning a Windows PC. Permit me to explain.

My mother, now almost 98, has a razor-sharp mind and memory. She and I are
convinced it is because she was an avid bridge player for most of her life,
exercising her brain.

I never learned to play bridge, unfortunately. But I figure that the hour or
two I spend each week trying to untangle problems with Windows XP is ample
stimulation for those synapses and grey cells. I know it's working, because
when I am really frustrated I can feel the hot blood pounding in my skull.

To help us grasp what He has done, is doing, and will continue to do.  We
can learn to walk the middle of the straight and narrow, without learning
compassion.

If I thought my God was CAUSING my suffering, I'd pick a different god or at
least a different messenger. One of the things that repels me from some
religions is their insistence that people will go to hell for spitting on
the sidewalk (or even being a member of any other church). I wanted a
POSITIVE religion that can lift me up when I need it, not a negative, fire
and brimstone one that constantly harasses me and kicks me in the teeth
occasionally just to remind me it can.

You've had some MAJOR bad luck. Maybe a different religion can help you over
it now and if you ever need it again.

: I'd ask why my life has been filled with pain and death. What is His purpose

Lori, your question has been asked over and over again since the beginning
of recorded history.  Most Bible scholars believe that the Old Testament of
Job is the oldest one in the Canon, and Job was asking the same thing of
God.  As readers of this ancient book we are "let in" on what's happening,
but Job does not know; it being a test of faith as Satan is permitted to
devastate Job's life and the lives of his family because he (Satan) contends
that Job is only godly and prosperous because God has chosen to favor him.

Pat Robertson might tell you (sarcasm here!) but I will not.  The fact is
that we live in a sinful world and all people, the good and the bad, the
rich and the poor , the uneducated and the intellectual; all people suffer
and are blessed for reasons that are often beyond our understanding.

For C. S. Lewis, the most renowned and scholarly English Christian
writer-speaker of the 20th century, called by some "The apostle to the
skeptics," this problem was the last hurdle to overcome before abandoning
atheism for Christianity.  The final question for Lewis (and for just about
all of us) is this:

(1) Christians maintain that God is good and God is all-powerful.
(2) If God is good, he should like to see his people happy.
(3) If God is all-powerful, he could achieve his goal.
(4) But as I look around, people are not all happy,
(5) Therefore, God is not good or God is not all-powerful.

The question will  never be answered to your or my total satisfaction in
this life.  I recommend highly to anyone willing to devote some time and
study Lewis's book "Mere Christianity," which has been of help to others,
including my wife and myself.

I'm afraid I have written too much.  I hope you are still reading.  And I
promise to remember you and your family in prayer as you come to mind.  Like
right now.

The same thing that I intend to say when I die if I am confronted by God:

"Hi mate. How's it going?"

You never want to introduce me to the self important and expect me to fall
under their spell. I can be embarrassing in such moments. Yes, I have talked
to TV stars out on the street before (not known outside of Australia, NZ, UK
and Europe but nevertheless known inside that sphere) and talked to them the
same way their family would talk to them - the same family who knew them
when they were nobodies - and one even told me that he appreciated that I
did that. He got sick and tired of being treated with reverence or fear and
he certainly didn't like having to duck around corners to get away from
people. I told him "Just act the way towards them that you want them to act
towards you" and he thought that was a good idea. Wonder if he does? :)

I suspect that God would be amused by my irreverence. It isn't that I would
think God is less important or something. It isn't that I think God has
something to prove. It is that I want to be treated that way so I would
treat God that way.

BTW, all the above I just typed means nothing to those who are agnostic or
an atheist. :)

I have met some VIPs who acted like they were VIPs and I had no problem
talking with them and even chiding them.  I would take a .45 in the cranium
before bowing to their persona of themselves.

Conversely, I have met some very important people who treated me or others
exceptionally well, and I have become tongue-tied and walked away proud that
he or she spoke to me and slapping my head for not coming up with something
more witty in response.

But, God?  I would probably fall to the ground on my belly, cover my eyes
and cry like a baby.

You really ARE posh, aren't you! Knowing your ancestors I mean. I bet they

...

> Welcome and I will be happy to translate the broad Yorkshire English into

I've been to USA twice, to Washington State. On the second occasion I was
taking a walk (on mainland western Wa, not far from Seattle) when some
teenage boys stopped to talk to me. Or perhaps I spoke the them first, I
can't remember. In my forthright way I'm prone to greeting strangers if they
look interesting.

But that will have been observed from the liberal way I respond to posters.

They were aghast, one of them said: "Where did you learn to talk like that?"
I admit that I didn't understand, I'm English and I was speaking English. I
speak received standard English, not broad Yorkshire or the uglier Leeds
type - although I can - and it was the straight stuff they found
fascinating.

Now I KNOW that at that time there were a lot of English television
programmes shown in USA, I was told that 'Upstairs Downstairs' was very
popular. I saw an episode of that once (we don't have a television  at home)
and know that the people there were speaking much as I do. So what was the
problem?

I also heard that the James Herriot vet series and 'Last of the SummerWine'
were popular. They're filmed not far from where I live and I could
understand if other 'English' speaking countires had difficulty with those
dialects but not the way I speak.

None of my friends on the island (Whidby) had difficulties understanding me.
Nor did I with them - apart of course from the different use of words and
grammar.

It's all fascinating. Our beautiful language (and its diversities) is one of
my passions.

Just cuz I have a little time to kill, I'll take a stab at that one.  On a
clear day, you can see about 18 miles.  Turn around and you can see 18 miles
in another direction.  When I stand on the roof of my office building, the
people contained in my view number in excess of one million.  Multiply how
far I can see just east and west by 1000 and you have roughly the diameter
of the Earth.  While Earth contains about 9 planets (they're still arguing
about Pluto) and a dozen moons and only one sun, there are millions, if not
billions of these solar systems racing about the Milky Way galazy.  The
Hubble telescope allowed us to discover there are hundres of billions of
galaxies racing through the Universe.  And they all started with a snap of a
finger, probably just a thought... maybe a whim... of God (assuming there is

That's original thinking and it would work - in a crowd.  You do live in a
crowded part of the world, don't you!

But if just you were face to face with God (whether or not) it might not be
God.

And you make me ask another question: does God have fingers to click?

I mean, come on! If God has fingers it suggests that God is like us. One of
us. If God is like you, there must be a prostate somewhere ... a very old
one. For what purpose? Has it ever been used?

I don't have an office building but I reckon that if I stood at the top of
our city's highest building I might be able to see more than 18 miles in all
directions. That's based on my second geography lesson when we were taken to
the school roof and had pointed out to us some famous hills to the north
about 30 miles off and, to the east, the sea. Except that the sea wasn't
visible, we had to accept, as an act of faith in the teacher, that we would
be able to see it if there were no clouds in that direction. That must have
been about 500' above sea level and about 70 miles from the coast in both
directions.

That was memorable! Fifty five years ago ...

 We're put here to love, learn, and die. That's the only promise I can give
you. Some are luckier than others Lori. Then there are the happy rich kids
that have it all, and then kill themselves as teens. All we can do is try
and give & take the most we can out of life. "The greatest love of all, is

What Would You Say To God If You Could Write God An Email?
If you have every wanted to write to God here is your chance.
Let God know how you really feel.
ABOUT THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE
THE STATE OF THE WORLD
THE WAR
RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES
ABORTION
CHINESE FOOD
YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION
Or any other topic you feel you need to discuss with God.
=========

what a jerk..........

let's see.  by religion's beliefs......god is everywhere and everything.
so how are you going to TELL him something that god doesn't already
know?

and what does sending it to a sbcglobal.net going to do?  are they going
to forward it to god?

and this statement..... "Or any other topic you feel you need to discuss
with God. "

does this mean that you are going to discussing topics with "god".  

wow!!!  i didn't know that god lives at a web address and all this time,
i thought that he had better living conditions.

 Having trouble in the bedroom? Well I have the answer.  All you need is to
take one of these little pills, and not only will your troubles be over, but
your penis will grow 3".

and beable to choosewhattothrow out of my husband's wardrober?

Hmm. I wonder if a 3" penis would be worth it ...

Take the little pink pill, not the little blue one, Mary.
The dust bunnies will pack up and move out, the single socks will find
their companions, and every chair in the house will give a back massage.

Side effect, your bra won't fit.

That would be bliss - I wouldn't have to think about it or, every Christmas,
go on a search and destroy mission.

Don't wear them.

That would be nice if I did much sitting ...

It doesn't anyway since my lumpectomy :-)

Perhaps I should stick with the red/white, the brown and the white pills ...
but thanks for the tip.

Better this than <insert name of opponent>

However bad you think Bush is, he was better than the alternatives
(according to about half of the U.S. population).
