...an anti- Microsoft bing-ot, you mean?

It's easier for you and me than for Joe Average, it seems. A lot of people are getting slammed into using search engines they've never heard of. Some are really bad.

That being said, discussing our search engine preferences really is not beneficial to the OP.

Hello Jacob,
I wanted to ask about your "Mango Bikes" experience until now because I'm thinking about buying a Mango Point Blank bike.
Like, if the quality is really good for the money etc.

That's funny. I am an admitted anti-microsoft bigot as well, I don't even care whether Bing might be better than google or not, I wants my google! I got brand loyalty.

I also run only linux in my house (although I'm on win7 at work for my software job). For coming on 10 years now I haven't come across anything that needs to be done on computers in my home that can't be done with Ubuntu.

But, this is not a thread about computers, so I won't hijack it further. Maybe I'll go pick a fight with windows fanboys in Foo.
