The Yankees did invade us,
To kill and to destroy,
And to distress our country,
Our peace for to annoy,
Our Countrymen were filled
With sorrow, grief and woe,
To think that they should fall
By such an unnatural foe.

Come all ye bold Canadians,
Enlisted in the cause,
To defend your country,
And to maintain your laws;
Bring all united,
This is the song we'll sing;
Success unto Great Britian
And Save the King!

eh?

The War of 1812, our second war of independence......

You started it you invaded Poland. No, wait, wrong war. You started it, you invaded Canada.

Yeah, but we felt bad about it so we didn't plan for it and used an idiot (Bill Hull).

In famous brothers it's good to have at least one that is competent. Unfortunately, the other, less talented, brothers usually get acclaim or notice merely through bloodlines. The Isaac vs. William Hull thing explains the tragic modern parallels in Stevie vs. Jimmie Ray Vaughan and Sly vs. Frank Stallone.

The real problem was that Hull's iPod was stuck on repeat and kept playing Rush's "Great White North" over and over.

Very welcome, I'm sure.

A sentiment not shared by the remaining 2 or 3 historians who realize this was not the first, nor would it be the last, war instigated by that pack of pinched nosed, money grubbing, brainless, bible pounding, self important, self righteous, God's self annointed scourge, from the New England colonies.

But hey .. so long as somebody else's militia is getting shot, what do those self righteous swine care.

During the war if the New Englad militia could have been bothered to form they would have been more likely to march on Washington than Canada.

We all know the heights to which Rick Moranis's career would fly, but wtf ever happened to Dave Thomas? Last I saw him was as Charlize Theron's dad in a couple of episodes of Arrested Developement.

Going to try Parallels first. But if that doent cut it, I'll go with Bootcamp (although that does seem like a serious PITA. WitP I'm not worried about. But there are a few other graphics-intensive games I wanted to try.

I use VMWare Fusion on my Macbook Pro. There are several other options, including Parallels Desktop.

Not an option if you wish to run Windows and Mac software at the same time.

why would you want too?

Would you go online in a Windows environment if you had another option?

Indeed! Who would ever want to run Mac software? (Both commercially available programs)

You gotta love saavy Steve Jobs I'm fed up trying to explain to people that essentially, a "MAC" and a "PC" are the same thing....only using different O/S's. I get vacent stares when i tell them that you could put OS-X on a PC and POOF.....you have a MAC only you havn't sold your youngest son into bondage in the process.

Very true. But in order to put together components of equal value to those that come with Apples, you'd end up spending more money than the Apple is worth. Besides, there is definitely something to be said for the design.

WRONG!WRONG!WRONG! New England didn't want the war, they were trading with the Canadians and Brits,and making damned good money at it. Madison had to send the Navy to Maine and Massachussets to stop the trade. New England was so upset they tried to succeed. To this day the war of 1812 is known in New England as "Mr. Madison's War".

Not really....especially if you build it yourself. GF's iMac has a mid-level nVidia card in it that the apps i run would make cry....the little artsy keyboard is this little metal piece crap thats almost impossible to touch type on and i'm not super impressed with AirPort wireless.....buggy. The built in monitor is very nice though but so is my LG 24" backlite.

I've found OS-X can be just as annoying at times with it's occasional freezes, crashes and you dont really need to know interface.
