It's hard to tell, sometimes.  The lady from the cable company asked  
me yesterday, while i was setting up cable broadband access, if i  
could verify that my "computer's processor has at least three  
gigabytes."

First: gigabytes in a processor?

Second: wtf is wrong with their setup that requires a 3GHz processor  
to run a freaking TCP/IP connection?

Third: does the Macintosh and the whole megahertz mythbusting really  
have so little mindshare that people at an ISP have never heard of  
non-Windows computers?
