p.s. I used to work for microsoft (for quite a while, until I hit the f**k you number) - and nowhere in my years there did I come across people who insisted on sticking a 45kb bitmap in their each and every email. in fact it was considered very bad manners indeed to constantly remind people who you were on first name terms with what your phone number and email address was - never mind some dumb logo of some sort.
anyways - genericising is a pretty lame Jerry Springer-type approach. never mind the european slants - let me focus on you trying to appear smart by slagging off a company - especially since you are using their software to write your snotty reply, to cut your snazzy graphic, to read your interesting email. so as you raise your (connected to a windows PC keyboard) begin to flame me - consider that all I am doing is raising points, whereas you are offending Belgian, German, French people, as well as those from a particular company - why not become a football hooligan, at least you will get a weekly game??
i bet you own smart parts duvet covers...because they came with your bed. but it's cool to slag them off isn't it...
