That's strange. Threads like that usually just get sent to the appropriate forum...

I own a RIO, it predates the Ipod, and I don't have to buy another one when the battery dies, I just pop in another AA.

Let me speculate.

Someone started a chat thread on something Mac-related.

Some insecure, weird Windows user began throwing a fit about how much Macs suck. (Despite never using one.)

It went downhill from there.

MileHighMagic · 01-03-2008, 11:18 PM

They closed it right after I posted a pic of the phone cover I bought. I guess that was grounds for shuttin er down?

To further the speculation, somebody started or posted in a thread who isn't in the special clique that gets to post whatever they want in any forum.

See, the special few, their posts can never be moved or locked. The rest of us, watch out.

You can always tell people who aren't IT people.....

ZachKC · 01-04-2008, 02:38 PM

Bump. Still looking for a mod explanation of why it was locked.

Just how "rigid" people are to their OS's. They are all tools - anyone who is a true IT "guy" will know how to do what they want to do on any platform.

Agreed.

Since the iPhone thread was locked....would anyone be interested in the 1986 AFCC Game, the orginial broadcast, converted for the iPhone. I was going to try this weekend to convert it. I could then put it up on bit torrent.

That's a good question a simple explanation from a mod would clear up for everyone.

I know TJ has been really focusing on politics these days. Who is the ringmaster of this circus?
