I have been following this thread with much interest, and we are Mac
users here, for reason of career. But this has been a fortunate choice,
since my other half hates MS with a vehemence rarely seen on other
topics. I doubt I could bring it in the house and get any sleep, unless
I needed it for work or something. But now Apple is becoming less
likable, and it is possible that greed has sunk it's shiny teeth into
Jobs as well.
I am very happy to read about how the "normal" computer people have
continued to be the upright, kind and generous folks I used to always
associate computing and science in general from my college days.

everyone, anyone can get involved in making things better, and no
central authority can impose its will on us.
Yes, there are problems with Linux, but then there are problems with
Microsoft's Vista as well. I know which future I'd like to live in.
