Get a grip.

You're the one that seems to be frothing at the mouth.

It is just a freaking computer.

You know, I've NEVER heard a Mac user say that. I've heard lots of Windows PC users say it, though. I wonder why? Could it be that we Mac users have had experience with both?

"It is just a freaking computer."

I am a programmer. I've been a programmer for about a third of a century. I've done everything from Unix and Linux kernel programming to building web sites. I value the tools of my trade. A lot.

In the past I've owned (or used) computers that had systems that I completely built myself, there were several versions of Steve/Linux including a port of Turbolinux 7 to DEC/Compaq Alpha. My interest into doing another Linux distro has dropped to 0 since I've been on a MacBook Pro.

I'm not ashamed to say that someone finally did Unix right. Mrs. Altair loves her MacBook too, but that's somewhat different.
