You might want to check out craigslist.org, in my opinion it's one of the better community sites. A lot of people in the bay area, california who doen't even own a computer themselves use craigslist.
I would want to put X on OS-X so I can run X-windows programs. It is kind of frustrating knowing that you are so close to running everything you want on a mac, but not quite there.
If X was on OS-X all of the programs written for X-Windows could run on OS-X, this would be very cool.

What's interesting is that the killer application is no longer a desktop productivity application or even a back-office enterprise software system, but an individual web site. And once you start thinking of web sites as applications, you soon come to realize that they represent an entirely new breed, something you might call an "information application," or perhaps even "infoware."
Well Sony thinks this is a big enough problem to constitute rubber? coating the PS2 boards to prevent chipping. This of course adds $10 to the manufacturing price. I'am not sure if this is actually going to be the case, but the idea has been brought to attention more than once. Joshua Yambert
