I can't name what I don't remember. If you think of that as a "refusal", 
then you are obviously obsessed with winning some kind of point. I'm 
increasingly unable to figure out exactly what point(s) you want to win. 
Still less why winning matters so much to you.

What I do remember is the increasing _disappointment_ with the G4. Then 
Apple switched to Intel chips, so I did too. Built another box, went 
back to Windows and OS/2.
