Don't most computer parts come from like, the same places? Maybe it's more about testing... eh.. I often wonder. but not enough to really dig in there and find out. Or else I forgot.
You know, I love OS X and all... but Mint is more kick-ass for what I do. My MacBook Pro is nice, but the keyboard pisses me off a little... I mean, come on, there's enough space for a function key on the other side too-- my last 17 incher had a freaking numberpad! I know, aesthetics, and whatnot. And the engineering is sweet... magnetic plug == rocks. trackpad == best damn one I've ever laid fingers to. keyboard action== smooth, feels good. wish page-up and whatnot was more consistent. screen == lovely, just lovely. Runs hot tho, and pretty unstable compared to ubuntu. Still hands and feet above any microsoft OS I've used... well, XP has been pretty solid... but still, feature-wise and multi-task'n 'n everything, linux is the OS to beat, in my opinion. For a power user. Pictures and whatnot tho, are *really* easy on OS X. Smooth. Intuitive. Yup. My rating is: Mint, OS X, XP (Vista is growing on me, but it needs more cowbell) I know you love OS X too, Dave, but it's the truth. Second. LOL. -- you ever wonder if computers have auras? Why someone's mere presence seems to make them work, and such?
