Is this the five-minute argument?

"The renowned linguistics expert appears to be struggling with the definition of the word 'argument'."

No, he's not.

What I see...

Dead. Man. Talking.

Wotta load

Dead. Man. Talking.

Where do want to go today?

Is it true this is the MS Corrigan program we've been hearing about?

Take it outside

Of course he could always use the outdoor amenities – you know, the one with the little half moon carved out of the door...

What the man said...

According to the sales guy who runs that outfit this is Vista too.

There you have it then... Windos 7 (NT6.5?) = Vista Too

It's close enough...

As this contretemps is occurring in my backyard I'm obliged to point out that the offending logo is most often seen in black-only form in the local weekly advertising flyer, specifically in the classified ad section. While smallish it is paired with the Adobe logo and is positioned next to some copy about courses in web design and development. In that context this apple logo does leap off the page, in fact I've been drawn to it more than once because I thought it might be the Apple logo – a relative novelty until recently in such surroundings, hence my reaction. Of course the school's logo is different but I can't believe it is entirely fortuitous that they came up with this. As others have pointed out, they need something better anyway.

For the record, the school is located in Saanich, not in Vancouver. Saanich is a suburban community adjacent to Victoria which is on the southernmost extremity of Vancouver Island.

Cheers, all
