    OS X, BSD and L Ron Hubbard. I was like no the apocolypse is upon us. They have constructed the user friendly E-meter. We are doomed. Greta van Strokin (sic) will indoctrinate us all to its wonders at 7:00 pm.

    if I'm using a Mac, that means graphics and multimedia ONLY.

    For me, Macs don't mean gaming, web browsing, or things like that.

    Please tell me, as a Mac user, what web browsing experiences I am missing. What office-productivity abilities am I missing? What coding experiences am I missing?

    Gaming? Real gaming takes place in a text window. Mac's got those too.

    Only thing I'm missing is apps with hidden extensions that auto-launch from my mail apps. I don't really miss them that much, though.

    ...is this the place for an idealist open-source developer like Jordan to be spending his time?

    "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy; but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." --Matthew v. 43-48.

    It gets funnier when you remember that the BSD kids are always pointing out that Linux is Unix clone, while BSD is "real" Unix.
