Like other addicts, users experience cravings, urges, withdrawal and tolerance, requiring more and better equipment and software, or more and more hours online


Ok, so who's going to be first in line to sue Apple for "making them addicted" to buying new hardware...? Devilish2.gif

gunug,

You think too small!!  laughhard.gif

I've got people who 1tell me I am a lock for a free Mac Pro and a free MacBook Pro both with the maximum set of options (CPU speed, memory, etc..)! I am writing this from my hospital bed where I am in a 72 hour lockdown for acute depression. Hmm, maybe 3 million in cash will also be necessary.
