I would hope some of my 401k funds have both M$ ($30.90) and Apple ($186.16)
stock. So what? My job requires M$, but I have OS X on my computers. Do you
think anyone would be naïve enough to try to sell what ever they own stock in
to this list? This list?
Thank you,

Apple charges for the major releases, such as 10.4, 10.5. The minor
updates are a free download.
Apple's major OS X major releases have been pretty good since 10.3; most
of the problems have been relatively minor.
Thank you,

Hey, we should ALL be so lucky as to own Microsoft or Apple stock! (Or
any stock, for that matter.)
Microsoft and Apple have advertising budgets that dwarf the GNP of even
a few first-world countries. They don't need to enlist people on lists
like this to do their work for them. In fact, big co
Oh, I see. Still I cannot understand why DSL is so much faster than
T1. My company is looking at getting a T1 line (we cannot get DSL or
cable) and it is going to cost many times what we used to pay for DSL in
our old location yet it will be less than half as fast.

10.5.x updates will be free. You will have to pay again at 10.6 (at
least a year or two).

You can buy Macs with all sorts of bells and whistles nowadays,

It may not be as fast, but it will be more steady and reliable in most
cases. You pay a lot more, but your bandwidth to the other end of the
connection is guaranteed, and if it goes down you will see the telco
there in hours, not days. It is a different type of service.

You should look in the box. You may have a Mighty Mouse and not even know
it.
Define "several years" please. When I bought Macs at my old
employer, they came with the one button mouse or none at all - those
were G4's, G5's, and Powerbook G4's.

I have had similar experiences. Red Roof Inns and their ilk provide broadband

less. I stayed at the Hyatt in downtown Indianapolis in August, and I just got

Just a brief clarification. "DSL" is a term that's used like "Kleenex."
