I was going to point you in the direction of the Online Blog’s write-up of Steve Job’s MacExpo keynote, or tell you about the HP employees getting suspended for passing around porn on their PC’s (how dumb do you have to be?), all with appropriate pithy comments, but that was before I got a message…
