You obviously don't understand colloquial English. The facts are
that you misrepresented what I had said.

The issue was your ranting, and when you use silly terminology like
"bicycle hats" when you mean "helmets", you are ranting. Also, you
fail to grasp that sensible people don't buy helmets to avoid deaths,
which are rare - they buy them to avoid or at least mitigate injuries.

No, *you* looked foolish by assuming that everyone's system worked the
same as yours. And I told you why I didn't load Adobe's software. You
simply ignored it out of ignorance - you couldn't understand the issues.
Also, I never said I was an "expert" - you did - as I don't like to
brag. I would point out, though, that I got a free pass for Tuesday
at the Java-One conference in San Francisco and scored a deck of cards
from Amazon (plus a business card for where to submit resumes, which
they only gave out to a handful of people): they showed some C code
and would give you a token prize if you could predict how many
additional function calls would occur if a statement in the program
was eliminated. I had wandered by kind of late in the afternoon and
it seems that, out of a group of attendees with quite a few computer
professionals, I was the 5th person that day who had managed to get
the right answer. It was apparently not for lack of trying.

Another of your pet peeves. Grow up.

Wrong - you are a moron. Just look at your posts.
