I always find it so humorous that the people I probably respect  
technologically more than most I've met in my almost 20-year career  
start whining like toddlers when talking about Apple products.

It's really funny.  No, really.

After using a Windows laptop several years ago, and the fighting  
through the somewhat unfinished GUI in Linux-land, I bought my first  
Mac in '05.  I've not looked back since.  NO products out there are as  
well thought out, well designed, well integrated, and easily  
manageable as these.

And I use Linux on my desktop at work.

When I get home and get back into may laptop, It is a relief from  
dealing with Linux all day.  If I couldn't just open up shells, and  
never use the GUI, Linux would drive me positively mad on the desktop.

As a server, however, I don't think it can be beat, though, and am a  
very happy admin when it comes to Linux.

Relax, folks.  They're just computers.  In comparison to a sunrise or  
a walk in the country or good times with good friends,  they're just a  
box of junk.
