[ale] My iBook

[James Sumners]

I highly doubt that I would want to change my home machine over from
Debian to OS X. However, I do want a portable solution that works well
and has good support. I just want to be able to turn my laptop on and
start using it without having to jump through hoops to do common
things. Sure, I could re-load Windows on the laptop issued me through
work but I can't stand Windows. It is a hinderance and not a
functional work environment.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
