Screw OS X I think...

Sort of

OS X isn't necessarily bad but Mac hardware = trash.

My brother got an emac, and it was so slow it couldn't even run warcraft 3 so he returned it, and had to pay Apple a 200 dollar restocking fee.  Bastards.

Sure the G5 is fast and all but what if you want a laptop?  Let's compare...

I could get a Toshiba P25 which has a 2.8 ghz P4, Geforce FX 5200, and a 17'' screen for 2000 dollars, or I could get a 1 ghz Powerlessbook G4 which also has a 17'' screen but costs $3200.  Hmmm.

I think I'd rather get the Toshiba and put Slackware Linux on it.



i'd like to say: thank you for not being a zealot.

or in ebay terms: "GREAT TRANSACTION! ASSET TO THE LINUX COMMUNITY A+++!"

Some intelligent and well informed people like Macs, some intelligent and well informed people like Linux or BSD or Unix, can we leave it at that?  Personally I love Linux and now that I know what the hell I'm doing with it I prefer it far more to Mac OS X but that doen't mean everybody will, so quit your bitching about "technical merits" everybody.  And for fucks sake what the hell is with cars?  What in gods name do cars have to do with PC's?  Although if anyone wants to start a Windows/Intel/AMD box = a Lada Niva analogy I would be most grateful.  ;)
