THAT WAS NOT MY FIRST IMPRESSION. THREE OTHER PEOPLE SAW IT THE WAY I DID, so it seems the fault is not with me, but with you.
YOU SEEM TO KEEP THINKING I'M COMPARING THE TECH, WHICH I AM NOT.

IT DOESN'T"T MATTER WHAT SHE WROTE, I JUST COMMENTED ON THE SUBJECT LINE. WHY DO I HAVE TO READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE WHEN THAT COMPARISON IS ON THE SUBJECT LINE, AND THAT'S WHAT I'M COMMENTING ON?
Jesus, can you freaking see now that I've used big letters?
