Rush Limbaugh is a...

... Mac user. You thought I was going to say that other thing, right? You must know me :-)

Yes, Rush Limbaugh is a long-time Mac user. A Mac evangelist even. I've been told he talks about Macs on his show all the time – including yesterday when he was ranting and raving about Tiger. Seems Rush has found a bug in iSync. At least he's convinced it's a bug. Which means he's convinced scores of "Dittoheads" that it's a bug. Which could mean that Apple's servers are going to crash under the weight of all those "fired off" notes that Rush is responsible for. Ok, maybe not.

Anyway, Rush is so proud of himself that he's "exposed this bug" and he's "fired off" all these notes to Apple and I guess he's waiting for Steve Jobs to show up on his doorstep and personally thank him for exposing this horrible bug... the only problem is that I don't think the bug he found is a bug on anyone's computer but his!  As far I can can tell, my Address Book iSync with .Mac is working as it should and my iSync schedule is executing when it's supposed to (every hour for me).

Am I crazy or is he? Let me rephrase that... Has anyone else experienced these "bugs" in iSync that Rush is so riled up about?

I just ran this past a colleague, who pointed out that Rush does end his "diatribe" on a positive note, saying "I'm sure that they'll get this fixed." Someone at Apple must be a Dittohead because they fixed it so quickly it's as if it never even existed.
