so why do you own a mac? Just days ago I beachballed a mac adding some pictures to a word document. Yeah, that is the legendary MacOS stability. Next time I sat on a mac there were 37gb of stuff in trash. The poor owner tried to delete them. MacOS showed the apropriate reaction, no error anyway - and no file was deleted. Had to go down to the shell - and even after that some crap was still left. Undeletable and with no error messages or informations why. Apple's macos is the worst of all OS I had to deal with. OpenBSD is a hostile little bitch, but at least you can get the information you need out of it. Solaris? Not half as broken. WindowsXP? A sow rolling in mud munching on garbage but at least it does not die a horrible death just because you add some pics to a word file. VIsta is just a bigger sow.
