btw, sorry a little OT, but practically every time you speak of your computer, you refer it it as "my deuced Mac(hina)" -- what is that / what's it for?

"Deuced Mac(hina)" is a play on "deus ex machina", an ancient dramatic device meaning "God from a machine". (Think, for instance, the Mossad guy who magically appears to save Annie's butt in "Covert Affairs".)

Since "deuce" is, among other things, an epithet for the Devil, "deuced Mac(hina)" loosely translates to "devilish Mac machine" (and also loosely rhymes).
