they have talent because they force it on kids, some of the kids dont see their faimlies but 2 times a year, and they make up fake documents to say that 14 year olds (cant compeat) are 16 (can compeat)...

OMG, don't get us started on that!

But MAC or PC, you still have to install all your applications and I've got a crapper load of stuff that has to be installed and then configured to my way of working.

Well, it would be faster with MAC, because only about 1/2 of it would even be available.

Mac vs PC
7.3 vs 6.0
Diesel vs gasoline
Coke vs Pepsi
Men vs Women

I recommend taking the last discussion to Club FTE or you may get called on the carpet!

I don't hate MAC or MAC users at all. I wish I could have both actually. The MAC is the way to go for presentations, graphics, video ...

Actually you can have both, just boot Windows in the new MACs. It gets pricey though, and I don't really need it.

Which brings up a good point I think. Users were clamouring for a way to run Windows apps on the MAC, so it came to pass. Nobody ever asked to run MAC apps on a PC - the PC does it all.

And I also prefer the 6.0, #2D, Coke, and I'm leaning heavily towards women too.

Are you thinking of a different truck? Engine swap?

You would have a world of beefing up to do putting that in your frame.

Why an IDI? Why no a 5.9 CTD?

I have to agree, a 'Fummins' conversion would be sweet and easier.

If Dodge would have had the Mega-cab in January of 2005 I may have never known you guys! The 5.9 Cummins is an excellent engine.

Heck, my truck could end up 'Destroked' in a few years....
