The problem is that you say you don't make things up...and I presume
that's true. But you have never, in my recollection, put up any hard
facts.

When you first entered our ongoing conversation here, he though we
would get to the reall nitty-gritty about tape facts. What we got is
"everybody uses" "everyone thinks" sort of "proof." On top of that is
a massive does of Mac fanboy stuff.

I don't care about Mac versus pc religious arguments. I have a pc and
I am satisfied with it. I heart Macs and those that use them.

How about less fanboy stuff? Just the facts, sir.
