I used to carry a Linux laptop, but I spent as much time fiddling with the OS as I did getting my real work accomplished. The Macs are a very fine machine. I don't happen to like Apple, but that's a different story. As much as I hate to say it, I really don't think LINUX is ready for prime time...with the exception of pre configured, stand alone machines where no one changes anything.. The one next to this (Athlon 64X2 6000 and 8800GTS 640 PCIe) has Fedora 8 and XP Pro in a dual boot configuration. I have another almost identical machine in the shop but with a Sapphire X1950XT 256 PCIe) but Fedora 8 and XP Pro are on different boot disks that are selected in the BIOS at boot time. Once configured they have been very stable, but putting them on a gigabit CAT5e network and playing with Samba is not for the faint of heart or the average end user:-)) . One thing I've noted is not having to clean up gigabytes of disk space after a week or two of use like I do with XP Pro. All my mail is now on that machine, but I still need to get the news reader moved to the LINUX machine. Except for when I need to switch to XP Pro (such as running FSX) those machines stay on Fedora. I do need to find a GOOD multimedia package that will run most of the multimedia stuff out there like an equivalent to the old Windows Media player Classic I use on XP. Yes, I have ONE copy of Vista Ultimate (OEM), but only because I needed to get familiar with it. It is not currently installed and I see no likelihood of doing so again, at least in the near future. I have three OEM copies of XP Pro and 2 of XP 64 that came with free upgrades to Vista. I never bothered to send them in.

Because I'm all about being helpful. :} Hey..I LOVE this thing! It's amazing. This is my second Mac.

The other events were drive failures, one DVD, two hard drives. They work well for us. I'll tell you the truth. After 10 years of messing with PC's; having BIOS updates trash them, and having o deal with Microsoft's absolutely ridiculous installation policies that take it for granted I'm a software thief, I'm totally sold on Apple. Haven't had even a minor glitch yet, and they actually know my name over at the Apple store. :-)) -- Dudley Henriques |
