I never really looked at it that way being locked into some code would effect the OS but I guess everyone is that is buying a new MAcBut I owna dell and run it with windows OS and use Macromedia Dreamweaver ooops Adobe Dreamweaver to make all my sites and always make sure the cod ei svalid so I never run into the problem of someone surfing my site.Funny he turned off commments on his post I wonder just how many he got?

EDIT: Wait. No. Not because it’s just my world (design) . It’s my eyes. Who thinks that page in that font is easy to read? it’s gotta be tough on anyone’s eyes…

Only because it’s my world: NEVER EVER set your webpage in a san-serif uppercase shadowed font. EVER.

I agree, Rick, particularly since most Linux users are accustomed to very mature package management systems and the ability to pull in non-trivial app servers and all dependencies with a single command-line invocation. After talking to a few Debian colleagues from HP, I am eyeing the HP NC subnotebook series for my next portable. I am told the X.org support for the Intel graphics hardware is pretty sweet, and that came from an X.org contributor.

I concur exactly. I moved from an IBM thinkpad to a 17″ PB (G4 model) about 8 months ago. There are some nice things, but I’ve been looking at trying to get back to running linux on a dual core HP in the near future. Most of my reasons are the exact same as his. I think the linux->Mac OSX move is harder than the Windows->OSX.
