Completely agree with that. I bought a G4 350 (yes, they made them) in my first year of college when OS X was still something we'd only heard about through the grape vine. I despised OS 9, in fact my $3500.00 G4 sat there doing nothing because I hated the operating system.
Well, I bought OS X 10.0 which despite it's slowness, made me happy to be a Mac user. Now, I laugh my arse off because I'm _still_ using that same G4 350 with OS X 10.3.5 and because of the operating system, it's faster now that the day I bought it!
I've also went though x3 PC's since I bought my Mac which makes "they're expensive" pretty much null, plus I use my Mac more now then my PC.
Basically, yeah, I hated Apple prior to OS X, now I'm completely a zealot.
What? You mean like _every_ other iMac? That's crazy, that's insane... oh wait; no, it makes perfect sense.
Get a G5 if you're so bloody concerned.

Project Liberty is more along the lines of federated authentication, not identity validation. If you're looking at federatted authentication, you might also want to look at Shibboleth by Internet2.

I agree, who cares. If it's something useful that may have been posted anyways by someone else, then where's the harm of posting it yourself?
