You know, I've read through hitchhiker's posts, and I can't really seem to find 'her' throwing any 'flames' explicitly anywhere. Other than the decision (perhaps unwise) to list her unsubstantiated reasons for switching on a Mac forum, and the use of 'machead' as an expletive.
A few interesting things did come up that do lead me to question the claim that she's a 26 year old woman.

The 'man' looks like her. Possibly a very effeminate man, but it doesn't look that way. And bed at 7:30? Granted there could be a time difference. Then again there is the incessant use of smilies and the love of cats that may also import feminine qualities - sexist, I know, and I apologise
But you know, no one really know anyone on these boards, so I wouldn't jump to any conclusions on that basis.
However nothing bothers me more than consistent typographical and spelling errors (give and take, we're none of us perfect
). If you're really a 26 year old woman, you may need to take remedial typing or spelling classes.
Finally, I find the whole situation a little bizarre and 'unreal', which almost leads me to agree with some of the others that this whole situation is a little phony. As much as I dislike them, I find it hard to believe that a brand new Dell laptop would crash and burn so quickly. I also find it hard to believe that you can call the 'G-Series' labelling of Apple's processors old, come up with the 'inspired' new label of 'XG7', and yet not remember the name of your Dell laptop that you presumably spent $1000-$2000 on days ago and is currently DOA.
And even if it did die so soon, surely you should be talking to Dell Customer Support baying for blood, rather than asking for help on a Mac forum. I mean, in the first place you posted a bunch of reasons why you're switching to PC rather than asking for advice on whether or not you
should switch - so given the way you've dealt with people on this board before, can you understand if they're not exactly lining up to help you out now? I think you're looking for sympathy in the wrong place.
Finally, I am confused as to whether or not you have an eMac or a flower power iMac running OS 8. If you have both, then I find it difficult to believe that you would have found Dells so much superior, or considered the 3% market share, 'Think Different' and the megahertz myth as such negatives. If you only have the latter, then why are you comparing a Mac over five years old to a brand new PC and expecting any sort of equality in performance?
If you're for real, then I apologise, and advise you to call Dell Support and not make another post here in relation to it, or how superior it is to your old Mac. If you're faking it, then perhaps you should find somewhere else to amuse yourself, because you'll be out of here pretty soon anyway.
