got lucky. Hmmmm ... compared to comparable (or even more expensive)
PC laptops, I'm singing and dancing and even am able to run the latest
OSX operating system (not to mention OS9, Linux, BSD, Windows ... etc)
which allows one to have a really nice GUI and Unix as well
(rather than the usual Windows/Linux dual boot saga ... been there done that!)
(See also http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/vpc/ for how many more operating
systems one can run on a Powerbook. Rather harder on a PC laptop.)
My opinion is based on being a programmer on multiple platforms since the
late 70's and while sidetracked by the wonderful Amiga (where I predicted
in 1986 that a "consistent" GUI on top of "Unix" would be the ultimate
good thing (till the next good thing). Unfortunately, Commodore lost the plot
and I had to wait some 15 years to get where I wanted to be! Sigh!
(PC's for me were an intermittent passing phase since DOS in the early 80's,
I would rather avoid them but have used W3.1, W95, W98, WNT, WXP in more
ways than most PC-folks!)
Enjoy, Dingo.
P.S. Betting on ill-defined statements is rather pointless.
