    Lost all his money in the real estate crash. Well, not all, because he had a little left over for a house and drugs in Belize.

    Rich people aren't kooky. They're eccentric.

    And the reason that you own a Mac is because some smart programmer that started a company- and then went off the deep end? By the way they have a Mac version of their software too:
    http://www.mcafee.com/us/products/vi...n-for-mac.aspx

    Also the company - Network Associates, as a result of brief ownership of TIS Labs/NAI Labs/Network Associates Laboratories/McAfee Research, was highly influential in the world of Open Source software, as that organization produced portions of the Linux, FreeBSD, and Darwin operating systems

    Apple used FreeBSD for their starting point of their OS, so you better still be on the watch.

    Kooky is anally inserting bath salts. There's plenty of kooky tech money.

    Maybe I should start a thread whining to Todd and Steve about how you can't help yourself being an apple hating fanboy even in threads that have nothing to do with apple products.

    Wow, a story based on "facts" from Mike Daisey. You may want to quote others in the future considering the fact that Daisey basically made the whole thing up.

    Oh, he fell from grace...

    Remember the Michelangelo 'virus' threat in '92? John McAfee made it all up. Complete hoax. He then became an industry pariah, cashed out of his company and well.... started shoving bath salt suppositories up his ass. That's pretty kooky.

    That's awesome.
    He probably lost a lot of his money since no one in their right mind would put McAfee on their computer.
    Still not buying a mac.

    Sent from my cell phone. no, a cell phone.
    No longer stuck.
