I'm back from Tacos. I need to stick to drinking there, because the food has gotten really bad. Either that or I'm finally so sick of it that I realize how bad it's always been...

I'm telling you that you would be much happier if Apple worked to increase it's market share in computers/OS. I'm also claiming that if they had done it right from the start, they would have 90% market share today.

From http://www.absinth.com/links/faq.html

Is Absinthe a drug ?
One of the main herbs in legitimate Absinthe is wormwood and its derivative essence thujone. Thujone is classified as a convulsant poison, NOT a drug, having a similar structure as T.H.C., the active chemical in cannabis. Both thujone and T.H.C. are terpenoids and have a similar molecular geometry and similar functional groups available for metabolism. Despite the fact that thujone is classified as a convulsant poison, many doctors and scientists consider thujone to be a powerful drug, and psychoactive in relatively low dosages. However, little is known about whether or not it causes cumulative damage to the nervous system.

I'm thinking - holy shit! I was gonna plant one of those wormwood bushes! Maybe I won't
