Claims I've already proven are true. No need to 'rehash' them.

some skill? :) Thanks.

We both can. With ease. Carroll doesn't even consider himself to be in the
same league with me when it comes to code, Snit. I notice that you tend to
leave out such pesky details as you try to portray him as a coder. When it
suits you to do so, that is. I've asked you to show source from Carroll
previously demonstrating that he 0wns the OS and the hardware running it. As,
that's what a coder is capable of doing. I know Carroll doesn't see himself
as something he isn't. I only remind you of those details because you are
doing what you do. It's not going to work, btw. I have no issues with him
and as far as I know, he has none with me. We both know what are skillsets
are as well as their limitations. You're the one who seems to be a bit more
than out of the loop concerning the subject.

You might want to take a refresher in the threads, there, bud. David helped
you with some nasty ass USB ports; not the keyboard. I provided you the
necessary instructions to get into Apples version of safe mode using a
standard PC keyboard. Not David. I was also the only one who told you,
correctly, that your primary problem was a failing hard drive.

I haven't twisted anything. Anyone who wants to fact check me can easily do
so. You did not know which keys to press on a non apple keyboard to enter
safe mode. You did not diagnose your computer as having a failing hard drive.
A diagnosis I bring up only because it's a simple one for any real
technician to make. It doesn't matter who the manufacturer is, or the
fucking OS running. They *all do* the same thing when the HD is dying. You
should have noticed the signs. Did you lie about having the machine looked
at by someone else - that someone told you there was a problem with the
mainboard. It's a simple question. Did you lie about all of that? If you
didn't, whoever diagnosed it as having a bad mainboard is just as
incompetent as you are. I don't know where you come up with the idea that I
thought the internet lived on your hard drive, either. How in the fuck would
that work (aside from storage space issues alone!) considering that the
internet still continued to function when that machine was offline?
It amazes me the things you make up. Things that David Brooks for his own
dishonest reasons fully supports.
