The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and
     enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to
     lend money.
      -- Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar"

     remember what it was.
      order paxil paxil online Each of these cults correspond to one of the two antagonists in the age of
     Reformation. In the realm of the Apple Macintosh, as in Catholic Europe,
     worshipers peer devoutly into screens filled with "icons." All is sound and
     imagery and Appledom. Even words look like decorative filigrees in exotic
     typefaces. The greatest icon of all, the inviolable Apple itself, stands in
     the dominate position at the upper-left corner of the screen. A central
     corporate headquarters decrees the form of all rites and practices.
     Infalliable doctrine issues from one executive officer whose selection occurs
     in a sealed boardroom. Should anyone in his curia question his powers, the
     offender is excommunicated into outer darkness. The expelled heretic founds
     a new company, mutters obscurely of the coming age and the next computer,
     then disappears into silence, taking his stockholders with him. The mother
     company forbids financial competition as sternly as it stifles ideological
     competition; if you want to use computer programs that conform to Apple's
     orthodoxy, you must buy a computer made and sold by Apple itself.
      -- Edward Mendelson, "The New Republic", February 22, 1988
