Although I       don't remember if I've read the whole thing, I have read some of Roger Ebert's       review of it.

Even though I had       never used a Mac or iPhone before (or worked at a call center), they       hired me.. Lol. I noticed that iPhone users, at least circa 2015-2016,       were more like your average miserable angry people, but Mac users were       typically easy going, wealthy people. I spoke with lots of interesting       people, sometimes people that worked for (spokespeople?) for famous       people. Book authors, video editors, etc. At least 5-6 years ago, most       of them were a whole different class of people.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
