Which makes me want it even MORE! The Chandler and cash for the Robin........... If you're talking about the Kizanski Signature Series Robin Avalon Custom, it would have to be A LOT of cash! ...and before you even shoot me a number (I know you got it like that), don't tempt me. The guitar must stay with me.

Which makes me want it even MORE!

Maybe he was one of the top semicolons of the 70's and 80's, but that's as far as I'd go.

Aaaaaaaaaaand you'd be wrong about that. I would be wrong about that, were I wrong about that, but I'm not.

"Gary Richrath" and "Elliot Easton": Two names that should never be mentioned in the same sentence, unless the point of that sentence is to illustrate how LAME Richrath is when compared to Easton. Which he so is.

I can't get over how RIGHT that looks!

If you described it to me I would have scoffed at the very idea, but that looks amazing. Beautiful execution.

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.

The best inlays that Ho Chi Mihn City has to offer!

<< Grinning devilishly...

This picture is just wonderful.

Well, 41 pages isn't exactly 104, but it took the Boobies thread almost two years to get to page 41. This thread is only 3 months old (to the day!). Really, Caddie... What were you thinking? Hang your head.

Yes. Hysterical!

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I think you're way off base. You don't need to look any further than my posts to see that there is often a difference of opinion about almost everything, and no one is afraid to express theirs.

Sorry sorry, but you made my point. Gates knew how to make it available to everyone, while Jobs kept his software and hardware proprietary, Gates > Jobs.

He got me too, the muthafucka! Show of hands.... Who actually thinks I'm joking?

There were stripped down (albeit failures) "e-machines" long before the iMac. (For the record, I am typing this on an iMac, so I'm not anti-Apple). At the risk of repeating myself (well, I'll do it anyway), Gates was the one who wanted to bring a PC into every home. The Xerox people laughed in his face and literally GAVE him the programming which would eventually become DOS, which begat Windows, and so on. Jobs was an "also ran" for at least 20 years. It was the iPod (again, technology abandoned by SONY) that spurred interest in Apple to more of the mainstream. This brought up their computer sales enough so that more people could make the argument that the Mac is a superior product. Whether or not you feel that way is not the issue, but more people fall on that side of the argument than ever before. So, my point (that most seem to be missing) is that the technology itself is not what drove society to where it is now. It is the man who brought it to us, and that man is Bill Gates. There is no denying this. Xerox had the programming idea and thought it was a waste of time. Gates saw a way to bring it to everyone, which drove the Internet infrastructure and so on. Jobs saw the Walkman and found a way to make it cool. His integration between the iPod and his computers is what drove up his market share. So, again, without Gates, there is no Jobs.

I was just about to post the exact same thing.

Listen, His Royal Badness rrrrripped it up on the guy's axe and thought, "This scrub will never be able to match my awesomeness if he played it for the rest of his life," so he probably figured he owed it to the guitar to end its life while it is still on that high. It's like when Jerry Lee Lewis sets his piano on fire. No one is going to rip it up like The Killer after that, so the piano should be burned.

Let's get one thing straight: Gates changed the world, Jobs followed a distant second for decades. It's not one or the other, it's both. Gates changed the world by mainstreaming desktop computing. Jobs changed the world by mainstreaming mobile computing...period! Oh, and I've heard lots of people that heard from lots of other people that Leo was all about the bottom line, and saying so isn't demonizing...period! There would be no latter without the former. And let's not forget how long Jobs was chasing Gates' ass, trying to get to 5% of the market share which Gates owned. Gates changed the world into what we know it today. Jobs merely made changes to the changes (and I'm not down-playing that). Even the iPod was technology that SONY (a company I worked for in the early 2000's) invented, marketed, and then for some inexplicable reason abandoned. Essentially handing it to Apple. Jobs was a visionary, but he was not the one responsible for the manner in which we are all connected, neither was he above perpetuating slave labor in China so that we could have more iPads. He was a humanitarian but he was also a businessman, so we can't absolve him of all of the negatives that come with that moniker.

Exactly! I would be thrilled if Prince smashed one of my guitars. Would you be thrilled if he slept with your wife? Would there be cuddling?

After watching the posted Roots clip, I wanted to smash that Epi myself. Prince rrrrrrripped in the live clip, but you can tell he wan't happy with the tone of those mini hums. He probably felt he was doing everyone a favor, and for this I applaud him.

Exactly! I would be thrilled if Prince smashed one of my guitars.

Let's get one thing straight: Gates changed the world, Jobs followed a distant second for decades. It is the 20 and 30-somethings that are too young to remember this fact and have held Jobs up to the God-like status he currently holds (even posthumously). It was Bill Gates' dream that everyone would have a computer in their homes at a time what this was simply ludicrous. This is what brought Internet into every home. You can debate that Jobs improved on Gates' ideas, but that's not the point. The reason we are all here discussing anything on a message board in the first place is because of Bill Gates.
