Defining Misconfigured

(Disclosure: I am a big geek, so I tend to read websites for big geeks. One of those sites is the “PowerPage” which is designed for power users of Apple’s portable PowerBook laptop systems.)

In any event, this particular posting has kept me chuckling all morning.

(In an interesting aside, several of you had noticed this posting was posted, yanked and then—now—reposted again. Turns out that the posting at the above link was itself misconfigured and the link went to a blank page listing only the title. So I yanked it until it was fixed. Apologies for any confusion. Though I will tell you this whole thing has kept me happily chuckling into the afternoon. Which is saying something given we close on our condo on Thursday. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!)

    I’ve just moved up TO Windows XP, and find it much better than what I had — and the Wall Street Journal guru of computers describes Mac’s “Tiger” as way better than that. I understand the partisanship, but this was not the time I wanted to spend that much. But that the Oxford English Dictionary uses Windows as an example of “misconfigured” — hey, Redmondians, you’ve hit the big time!
