    It's easy.....it's called Linux. No more IE.

    what if you did have third degree burns on one hand? Especially your dominant hand. I received severe burns to both hands and 3rd degree burns to my fingers on my right hand. I am not sure if I have regenerated the same fingerprints that i had before. Are there cracks for these kinds of anomalies?

    Thank God indeed for choice, for without choice there would be no OS debacles and no die hard fans and no problems. And innovation would be dead. I, too, can live knowing that there are fans of Mac products, as long as they can make them work for them. Perhaps its just as well that these wars go on, for one may never try something else except for the pleading of another. Thank you for opening my eyes to yours ( and others) diversity.

    I have plenty of unix boxes and quite frankly, I prefer to do 99% of my editing and work on the Mac. Try one someday - perhaps you'll get your head out of the penguins asshole.
    Believe me when I say that I've done my fair share of trying Macs. From IT support to programming to Photoshop to graphic rendering, I've found their inferior hardware, expensive price, and proprietary bureaucracy to be nothing less than a monumental pain in the ass. All those Apple commercials on TV about how easy they are to use and how much they make sense is well and good for lamer newbs who need help with home networking and printing a document. But for a real power user who doesn't need their hand held every step of the way, functionality is key, and the point to computing in general.
    Maybe you should get your head out of your own ass.

    Kinda like my old Windows PC... When OS X came out... I got rid of the broken shit and replaced it with something that worked. The fact that it looks nice to is an added benefit but not the reason for the purchase Kind of pointless to say that Windows is broken shit, especially since this is slashdot and most here are Linux users. But show me the sense in buying an expensive design with technology that's two steps behind, driven down the throats of die-hard users who are convinced that their computers are the most powerful in the world. Apple users will flame and flame about how specs don't equal performance, but the proof is in the pudding. Shut the hell up about your damn shiny buttons and get yourself a real OS.

    Even uber-newbs like the differences they can see between Linux and other OS alternatives. What we need is something they can understand, while still maintaining the environment of speed and customization that we have all grown to love. Discovering new things should be up to the user, but for those who need their hands held, they have somewhere to go instead of resorting back to the monopoly.
