I've created my own monster: I got my mother a liddle MacLE years ago, the
pizza-box variety. It was only a month (after her being swell impressed
with it) to ask me for more ram, a larger monitor...

Now, 10 years or so later, she has a Gaming Dell (nicer than mine...almost)
a Bronze Powerbook with OS X in it (tiger I believe), a PC Laptop with XP
and her games, a couple of iMacs...

In short, a monster!  Gods, I LOVE my family ;)
