  1. What is "average"? by Outland+Traveller · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It may very well be that the "average" Mac user is changing. Ever since OS X, I and other *nix folk have been enthusiasticly adopting the platform alongside our usual assortment of Linux/BSDs workstations. No GUI on the market can currently match OS X. The system is an absolute dream to work on, and for my budget the 14" ibook is the laptop of choice.

    From this point of view, it is a great thing that I can now use OpenOffice.org on all my platforms!
