12345? That's the kind of password an idiot would have on his luggage!

Seriously great read and I had many laughs keep up the good work.
It's also one of the most commonly used kinds of passwords, frighteningly enough. Seriously, a lot of e-mail passwords are just things like '123'.

Anyway, a very nice article as always. Horray for PC chassis as deadly weapons! I'm a little disappointed you didn't try and preserve the evidence in some way, but the fact that the man had legged it and took your sister's purse with him is pretty much an admission of guilt right there, anyway.

I'll always be a PC person, honestly. I have an iPod touch, of course, and it's a nice little thing, but I'm just familiar with how PCs work. Hell, I tried to use a Mac once. I couldn't even figure out how to turn the bloody thing on until the owner showed me how.

Besides, pre-built stuff is always really overpriced.

The story was somewhat funny but I'm saddened that the Mac vs PC war just won't die.
The Mac versus PC war dying would be like fanboyism itself dying; thanks to human nature, that isn't going to happen, I'm afraid. People grow out of it, but there'll always be a LOT of fanboys in the world at any given point in time.

Despite the fact that I'm a Mac user, I found that generally funny and entertaining. Good job protecting your sister from an identity thief by the use of a gratuitously-heavy tower.

And no, I'm not a hippy: I'm a clean-cut electrical engineering undergrad who keeps Windows 7 on his iMac for games.

Dear Lord Z,
My dad didn't name me after either of my older sisters (Maryanne and Marian), he named us all after an ancestor and civil war hero: Lieutenant Marion Keybridge Cox. The story goes that he took 12 gallows-bound soldiers and turned them into a special infiltration unit. The mission went horribly wrong and only Lt. Cox returned. Rumors had it that he had eaten the other men and his right arm to survive but there was never enough evidence to hang him, so they gave him a Purple Heart instead.
Wow, that's rough. I can only imagine the confusion that went on whenever the three of you were together and someone tried to call you by name. Though, you probably all three made up different sounding nicknames to get around that. Naming your kids after some war hero may seem like a good idea but I'm sure I don't have to tell you how that can backfire.

I forgot to mention, for you and your sister's added protection. You should look into one of these cases. Not only will it crack a man's skull but it probably wont even chip the paint.

Amusing - if biased. PC & Mac both have their respective uses in various ways and fields. I happen to use both, personally and professionally. I like Macs better, but I use PC's on a regular basis, and know how to operate and repair both. Works out good for me, best of both worlds.

Awesome story by the way, well written and hilariously described.

Mr. Cox

You have brightened my day. Your tale of Apple chicanery failing to uphold it's ridiculous claims under the harsh light (and weight) of a home-built PC warms the cockles of my heart. Or would, if I had any idea what the "cockles of one's heart" were.

I truly hope that you smashed the hard drive of that (31 adjectives censored for objectionable content -Ed.) scamming freak.
Sincerely
-Rag

Wonder how the "fight" scene would have been different with a mac pro tower. Thing is like a solid 40lb block of aluminum.
