It depends on whether you are a normal Mac OS X user or a obsessive Mac OS X geek.
The statement is true if you are the former, but seems to be false if one is the latter.
Personally, I prefer my extremely wired duck. He both really exists and actually works. The somewhat warm one just sits there and looks pretty but flies away if you attempt to come near.

Well, it usually takes a connaisseur to taste the difference. In this day and age, a lot of people are surprisingly undiscerning about the nourishment they take in.

Also true for me (that restaurant was vegetarian too), but I must admit that I do have a fondness for chocolate. Even if it can make you fat and spotty at times. Cocoa also has the remarkable effect of making women more responsive.

Pointless bit of semi-relevant trivia for you:
In the UK, northerners generally prefer a darker yellow yolk in their eggs than southerners, so chicken feed contains more beta carotene for that market. _________________ PBG4, 1.5GHz, SuperDrive, 1GB RAM, 128MB VRAM, 5400rpm 80GB HD, MacOS X 10.4.5

Ducking is fowl play; you ought stand up chest out and take it like a man!

Okay, so that's a cocoa-fed sitting duck, right?

But usually you have a shotgun in the blinds to bring it down so it doesn't matter whether it's sitting pretty or takes off, except you have to pick the buckshot out from between your teeth in the eating. The java-fed duck does score a better chance of survival tho' since it's flight is bound to be more nervously wildly erratic than one cocoa-fed and hence a very challenging moving target. So in the end I guess Pat and Ed picked the right duck beverage. Congrats on their shrewdness!
Oh great, now he want to have his duck and eat it... _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

I really should not, but oh well....
Chocolate contains a chemical that women are more responsive to, however given enough men will also react, and I know this is true because it has happened to me, at Romano's, an Italian resturaunt chain in the U.S. I had their Birthday 'cake' which basically is a very strong chocolate cake, covered with a chocolate sauce and whipped cream. When I had it, they were out of whipped cream (which is hand whipped) so I got double the 'sauce'. I almost fell out of my chair the sensation was that intense. And I'm a chocolate connosieur of sorts (Beligian, 70% dark please.)
In any case, I hope that never happens again.

You should see the looks my SO gets with her Graphite G3 iBook. And I have a G4 PB and get a few myself.
