Cancer Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I tend to live in the subversive camp. It is worth recalling that at one point during his tenure as Secretary of the Interior, Watt was the 2nd most hated figure among Americans. #1 was Ayatollah Khomeini; this was only a couple of years after his radicals seized the US Embassy in Teheran.

Bazza Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Some people base their computer buying decisions on whether Al Gore is on the board of Apple: I didn't know Al was on the board of directors, that makes me want to sell my iMac and go back to Windows. Apple needs to find better people to associate themselves with. If Al Gore stays on the board of directors, my next computer just might be a Windows Box. I used Windows for years and got sick of all the hacks and viruses and etc. Thats why I switched to Macs because they are very reliable and Rock solid. He's just to dang controversial when it comes to Global Warming. Is this just daft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Some people base their computer buying decisions on whether Al Gore is on the board of Apple: Is this just daft? Very odd. I can see why he might be on a board since he was in on the opening up what became the Internet. Apple being based in California probably wouldn't mind being seen as a more Green company. As long as Tipper doesn't get any say on Itunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
