I'm ALSO ROFLMAO!!!
I read: "Peter" and "another reader" in the article.
Then clicking on the links, found it was "PeterWeter" and "Mike Cox".
I Actually Laughed Out Loud!

I also noticed that not all of Mike's (the Master of Humor & Sarcasm- as 90% of us at ZDNet KNOW) post was quoted. Here's what was missing:
"My rep and I are very disappointed."
"Please, if you truly feel this way, go down to CompUSA and look at some of the fine eMachines on sale running Windows XP. You will then realize the true computing power you are dealing with. It is as simple as P=XPSp2IE6 (Productivity = Windows XP x SP2 x IE6)"

e-Machines.... Mike, you're Awsome! And a Formula!!! I love it! Some of your best work yet.

However, Mike Cox... you are No Longer the master. I'm sorry. As sarcastic and funny as your posts are, actually QUOTING them as True Testimony gets Mr. Berlind the award for Best Humor at ZDNet.
Congratulations David.
But next time include a Saturday Night Live sketch as further product testimony.
