That is very good and in fact I did get mad at every single one of them. I think I know who wrote it as his favorite catch phrase since the day I met him in 1980 was "you're ugly and your mother dresses you funny."

Did ya ever stop to think that somebody might be pushing your buttons? Maybe because sometimes you are so good at pushing other people's buttons? I mean, have you looked at the image you created and now put into nearly every post? Hello?

New saying - Those who push buttons should not live in a push-button house. Or something like that.

Maybe we should always state, "BP, formerly known as British Petroleum."

Yoyo tried that one but the trouble is it started long before I said anything and people have been coming out with it in the States who don't even know me... like President Obama for example, half the media and quite a few senators. What I've noticed is that several Mac users latch onto it as though they haven't got a mind of their own and regurgitate it undiluted like a demented robot - which I find quite surprising... almost as though you think they must be Windows users.

That's what I have been doing. Nothing to dispute there, it is a fact.

And we should call this place ApplecCentral, formerly known as MacMinute, home of forum members formerly known as MacCentral. That makes a lot of sense. Uh, not.

No, I think KM is right. People want to identify BP is a foreign owned conglomerate full of Brits. Or else they would not us a name that is the former name not used for ten years.
