I'm not bashing here or anything, but this just strikes me as incredibly strange. I think that if you based all your decisions like that then I'm surprised your using computers at all :) Heh, I just had to erase a whole paragraph here, re-reading it I realised that my now 25 hours of no sleep began to make this message into almost an attack which it defiantly is not. I am using OSX on a few machines here at home and my one at work, I'm also using win 2k on a home built PC, and mandrake linux 8 on an ipaq. All of them have flaws, infact I have reinstalled linux soooo many times it's not funny (all after clean installs, for the longest time I could not get any networking happening at all, then tried lynx, and suddenly _everything_ was working...reeeeeeely strange...but I digress). The only reason I mention all of this is for people to say WOW what a guy... er no, actually it's just me trying to understand that comment :) I think it's just because I hate to see anyone leave the mac platform for whatever reason (my platform of choice over _any_ of the others), but I was not wanting to look like just a typical mac user who has had no experience outside of the comfy mac os. And just to say it, I LOVE OSX ... I'm running xfree86 on it in rootless mode right along side the Aqua stuff, it's great. It has also given me much less problems that linux has. :) OSX is also what got me into the command line, something which I had never touched before, which led to me playing with linux to see what all the fuss was about, and then to here, ahh, heartwarming isn't it :) Now if I could just stop bashing my head against linux trying to get Globecom.net/jukebox installed, This OS would rock. before anyone takes offence at this, remember : SLEEP DEPRIVED :) (tho I'm sure there are a few on this list that will take that 25hours with a "beginner!" :) rand
