WRONG! I'm so irritated that people become one-minded. either it's the one-minded-ness that "windows is the only OS" that we're all familiar with.
Or the mindset that "linux is the only other choice".. no!
You still have mac, and they aren't going anywhere. Thery're increasing their user base, even though the hardware (used to be) more expensive.
How about a dual-core Intel Mac Mini machine, brand new, computer only, for $600. ...umm, most "new" machines are around that price too. they're no longer expensive like they used to be.
and what really made me write this...
In the unix world, there is Linux (true) and BSD, from Berkely (sp?).
JEDIDIAH I agree with that. Then you have made your "experiences" highly suspect, as the Mac most certainly did stop doing anything else when the mouse button was held. That's why the menus disappeared when...
I've tried many of many Linux operating systems, and they're all falling short of what I like about BSD -- it's integral behavior and structure. I feel (personal opinion only), that the BSD operating systems, the three major ones: FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD -- are the best IBM-PC-compatable operating systems I've ever seen.
Across all desktop computers, Mac OS X is the best (personal opinion). Then comes BSD, then Linux, and if I have to use Windows I will. But I hate it.
So please -- everyone -- with the same mindset that we all want to get away from Micro$oft, Linux is not the only choice. There is BSD, and FreeBSD being the most popular, please come take a look.
