LOL - I guess I'm the pragmatist here. OS's just don't get me all that worked up - of course, I've never been (or wanted to be) a web-developer, so the IE6 thing doesn't do much to me. Now if we translate that into report development terms - yeah, your IE6 is my Crystal Reports. Spawn of Satan, that's all I have to say.
"...run OS X in VirtualBox on an HP workstation." That phrase just caused me to go on some sort of 'trip'. GhostBusters - Don't cross the streams. Why? It would be bad.
I now have a lot more questions about you than I did before, Harold! 
Yeah, waiting for the day I can get my users away from Microsoft altogether, but they have the business world by the cajones. I sneak Ubuntu and other Linux varieties in where I can - I run Ubuntu on my desktop, with a VirtualBox for whatever required Windows apps I need. And we use Linux for some virtualization as well. Chrome I haven't tried in a while - the last time left a bad taste in my mouth. Speedy, but buggy, and the one wasn't worth the price tag of the other. Maybe time to try it again....
Some say the bee stings: but I say, 'tis the bee's wax; for I did but seal once to a thing, and I was never mine own man since. Yep, gotcha. 
Wow - I don't agree with this administration on much, but I got to tip my hat here.
Ynys Avallach or Avalon has been attributed to a number of different locations. Glastonbury is one, although from what I am reading, it seems possible that is the result of a marketing gimic. Others point to the Isle of Man, linking it to the Irish tradition. I've never heard of a single specific entrance to Annwn - it has always seemed to me that Annwn was reached by many paths, and often without even realizing it initially. But I'm far from an expert.
I've heard of the Troy connection before, and it is interesting that the Celtic languages seem to have more affinity with the Latin and Greek than any other IE language group. I don't know that I'd take it as history, but there seems to be an element of truth in there!
The Apollo part I've never heard before - THAT I find REALLY interesting!
Okay, I'll admit you suckered me in for the first 19-odd words....
Alrighty then - sounds like my son. A strange lad - he usually only has to hear a character a time or two before he's walking around interjecting their dialogue in the midst of otherwise normal conversations....
