Return of the Bumper Snicker

- 2005.07.06

Time for a new generation of bumper snickers - the old ones are kinda dated.

My Mac costs less than your tech support

Follow me to the Apple Store

I'd rather be Podcasting

There are more viruses for Windows than miles on my car

Open Windows - Close Brain

Don't blame me for your viruses - I bought a Mac

So many viruses. So much spyware. So little time to get my work done.

My other MP3 player is an iPod

Caution: Grumpy Old Mac User On Board

My other computer is a G5

Long(wait while M$ toots its own)horn

iPod equipped vehicle

More Windows Software: viruses, spyware, adware
