Password - that is a crass and massively ill informed remark as I (and plenty of others here can attest)
I have made my living since 1990 on Apple Macs - starting with an SE/30 and a Mac IIcx and progressing through pretty much everything since - unless you consider my professional career for the last 18 years "messing about" I think you should think before you post... (and your age has nothing to do with it - engage brain before operating mouth/keyboard my friend!)
You won't find many OS zealots here - we have a lot of Mac and Linux geeks as well as the Windows crew, but most of us, whilst having a preferred OS, know and use the others to some extent too - it is all about knowing the right tool for the job.
Oh and as to the original topic... like CP I nearly choked on my rum and ginger ale with laughing! Very funny... of course if the wheel "dialled" characters in a manner similar to an old Dymo label thingy it would work somewhat better
Actually I noticed references to iPod, iPhone, Mac OS, MacBooks, and even a visual reference to the Sugar OS of the OLPC if I am not mistaken.
