Per FReeper judgements, Linux is the only politically acceptable computer. Gates and Ballmer contributed to the Wash St gay marriage initiative and Apple is run by a gay guy.....

Well consider this...Linux was invented by Richard Stallman, a self-avowed atheist who often wears an "Impeach God" button on his clothing. He's a socialist who eschews personal wealth and believes that all software should be free. He's a Green Party supporter who admires Nelson Mandela and Ralph Nader among other commie types.

Need I go on?

Let's just stop trying to fit our political ideology into the computers that we use, or the music that we listen to or the movies that we watch, etc. We are bound to be disappointed. Just go with the best.

Get a MacBook Pro. Most dependable computer I've ever owned and it replaced my desktop as well. Get a tablet (i.e. iPad) for web-surfing and email on the living room couch. Scrap the bug-ridden virus-attacking Microsoft OS's (though Windows 8 does look promising). Also, if it make you feel better, the OSX operating system on the MacBook Pro is based on Linux.

I left off the /sarc tag on the initial post.

A few years ago, I started tabulating a list of retail outlets that were “off limits” by FReeper condemnation.
Eventually we got down to the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores as the only remaining option.

Then someone posted an anti-Catholic screed and we were out of business completely, LOL.

No, Linux was "invented" by Linus Torvalds, and is now developed by people with every political-sexual-religious affiliation under the sun.

For what it's worth, from the Torvalds Wikipedia page,

In 2010, Torvalds became a United States citizen and registered to vote in the United States; he is unaffiliated with any U.S. political party, saying, "I have way too much personal pride to want to be associated with any of them, quite frankly."[5]
