Yeah, we're weird. We like software that actually works. :-)


My wife's MacBook looked nice and I was seriously contemplating a
switch (after all, it's Unix now), but she upgraded the OS (leopard-
tiger or tiger-leopard or whatever), and now the machine is sucking

wind from the bloated software, and sometimes crashes. And her new map
software won't even recognize the GPS that's plugged in, despite
claims that the Mac does not need any special drivers. I don't
understand the mac geeks who think that Apple can do no wrong.

I'll stick to Linux. OpenSuse right now, but I'll probably switch to
Ubuntu this summer.

Jon.
PS: And the one-button thing STILL drives me crazy...users aren't that
dumb! They CAN intelligently use more than one button! (BTW, my wife
didn't want her free iPod when she got her Mac, so I've been playing
with it. The too-overloaded one button thing drives me crazy there,
too. Maybe its me who's wierd...)
