Don't quote me, but I read somewhere recently linux was set to take over Mac OS

i'll believe it when i see it - and then i'll complain that MAC OS yet again gets pipped by the cheaper crappier alternative.

honestly. why is it that people will spend $60,000 on a factory made highly engineered beautiful piece of imported motor car machinery -because spending $5000 on an old bomb is not financially sound in the long run and because the more expensive option is much more of a pleasure to run - but they won't do the same for a desktop computer. it makes no sense, no sense at all.

don't bother picking holes in that argument - i've started already.
