    agreed, im all up for the jokes, but i expect what i see on the homepage to be true. when i scanned it this morning, i thought that windwos was actually booting on a mac, until i saw this thread.

    Lighten up guys , or we'll have to start putting humour warnings on news posts.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
