Pocket a mess a money makin Intel Mac dual-boot

[Bob Crabtree]

It's hard to know whether to clap or cry. A guy in Texas - Colin*, from Houston (he's not telling his surname) - is running a contest (with ever-increasing prize-money) to see who can be the first to get an Intel Mac to dual-boot between Mac OS X and Windows XP.

* We don't know if he pronounces his name properly or if he calls himself "Co-lean". Hopefully, though, that will come out in the wash, too.**

** Interesting fact - Colin Powell's mum DOES pronounce her son's name properly (unlike Co-lean himself).***

*** Hopefully she is fit and well and still is able to pronounce his name loudly when he comes round Saturdays for sandwiches, pies and cups of tea.****

Check out this HEXUS.headline.

**** Perhaps we should have a contest of our own - I'll put up ALL the money (it will be in Turkish lira; or Japanese Yen) - for who can come up with the best womanised (should that be Co-leanised?) pronounciation of a man's name?

Let's not make it too easy, though. You can't be starting with dicky names like Colin and Nigel and Rupert*****.

It has to start off with proper, sensible-sounding names, like Robert or Graham.

***** The judge's decision is final.

It sounds legit to me, it can only benefit everyone if a solution is found.

Clearly him running off with the $7,000 and rising prize money would be a bit of a bummer.
