[Am-info] [OT] I've gone over to the brightly colored side.

Hey,

	Just as an FYI, I've done the improbable...  I needed to replace my
Vaio (running a heavily modified RedHat 7.1) because of some power
problems... so I went out and bought...

an iBook.

And I have to say, I'm truly impressed.  In fact, I was impressed before
I bought it, having a Mac power-user in the office (he has the cinema
wide screen on his desk attached to a dual G4 desktop), and having
worked on, for a short while, some file system development for the OS X.

It's smooth, prettier than windows, offers a nice Unix feel when you
just need to do a ps or df :-) (which was a big plus for me), runs
Mozilla well, and offers a solid development library.

It also feels like the computer is helping me via the GUIs and
interfaces, rather than dragging me along a "merry" path, which is what
I feel like in Windows.

I just wanted to let all the longtime Mac folks know that they has some
small part in this. :-)
