And your post summarizes what annoys me about people who still throw around "apple fanboy"; you're in an endless witch hunt to find some kind of subtext in what people say just to call them out for their choice of computer. There was nothing in what mdonahoe said to suggest "fanboy".

Grow up.

I don't want to start a flamewar here but "Neither are macs" sounds somewhat arrogant to me, serious and honest question am I the only one to think that?

Edit to comment about the depth limit: I can't comment any deeper. (Karma related?)

There is a time limit to the depth - this is to help prevent pointless bickering.

"neither are macs" isn't, I think, arrogant nor judgemental. A person can buy a Mac if they like that kind of thing, but if they prefer other stuff they can buy other machines. Each person decides what's important to them.

About the device: I don't like the way that micro-SD card adapters stick out the side of the case. I'm not sure I dislike that enough to pay $35, but if people have that kind of spare cash I'm not going to piss and moan at them about it.

Notice how careful I am to avoid mentioning any actual thing that may influence a purchasing decision? That's how frustrating and pointless these conversations can be. :-(

Re depth limit, hit the permalink for the comment and you can usually reply that way. It's something to do with caching I think.

No depth limit that I'm aware of.

I cant comment on LoneWolf's reply, but I agree with his point. It was not my intention

edit: so is there a reply depth limit?

If there are a lot of replies in a short time, the reply link goes away for a bit to moderate the discussion. You can always reply from the comment's permalink.
