What sold me was the beauty of having a real, open-source unix underlying a fancypants GUI, provided by a major manufacturer or personal computers. I'm a unix admin by day, and I don't want to go home and futz with unix at home, I want a computer that works. Windows is pleasant in that it requires no intelligence to operate, but it lacks the underpinnings that I prefer. OSX gives me the best of both worlds, I can compile software to my heart's content, and live in a shell like I prefer, while still being able to download simple, well designed major apps for the front end. No muss, no fuss. They aren't cheap, though. And the fact that I have to find Mac supported hardware kind of bites (I could go into details about my problems with video cards, U2W SCSI cards, and CD-Rs, but I won't). -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
