Well, I for one have found one more way to lessen the need for Windows 
in my life.  I am now using an Apple Power Book with MacOS X as my 
primary machine.  Let me tell you it is sweet.  Full X11 support, GCC, 
most of the Linux stuff will run on here, as well as having many 
commercial software packages available.  Such as Macromedia, MS Office 
(yuck...), TaxCut, Quicken, you name it.  Besides, it is one more 
Unix(ish) OS out there that I figured I should be familiar with.  And 
it has a really sweet GUI.  I skipped from my Apple IIe in 1984 to 
this.  Completely skipped over all of the other Apple OSs.  Not that I 
had any desire to run those.  But, when they went Unix, I figured I 
would eventually give it a shot.  Just got to get used to only having 
one $*&&^#@ mouse button!
