Touche, my friend. However, the iPod does not have the multifunction expectations that a personal computer does; and I think the cost:quality ratio is much lower than with Apple’s computers. Good point, though, I never claimed not to be a hypocrite.
I seem to remember learning that when Jesus used the word hypocrite he was referring to the actors in the dramas of that time. They were one thing and pretended to be another.

by kevinschultz April 10, 2006 at 7:33 amIs that a hypocritical statement?
Hmm…pondering the etymology of the word hypocrite…seems to indicate a lack (hypo) of criticism or critical-ness. Definitely not us, eh?
