That's true,I was talking about the OS not the hardware (though now you mention it the stuff I've used runs fine anyways). I didn't buy the stuff because it was 'cool', I just wanted something that didn't keep freezing/crashing.
Edit: but the OS is a darn sight nicer to use too :)

I could sort you out a copy, will wrap the disk in some foil and put an orange on the front.
Yours for only 69.99

I use Linux too :Dfor the serious computery stuff* that is. It's unfortunately still not very good for anything media-ish like playing/editing movies, drawing packages etc etc. I always thought of apple OS as like the best of both worlds, as media-savvy as windows but as stable and able to do (some at least) serious computer stuff as Linux.
* (edit) that you wouldn't use windows for anyway

I always ask people what they want when anything to do with an OS comes up.
If they want gaming, then windows is the only answer.
If they are not interested in gaming then give the alternatives a shot.
People are often suprised.
I still disagree with apples pricing scheme though, but they are in business and whilst people are willing to pay it then why change.

it must have been the shit that you have loaded on it.my pc at my old work (over 5 years ago) was on all the time, i did turn it off for weeks end some times, but i think it had a continuous up time of about 3 months at one time.
OS-X is different to use then windows in certain parts i grant you, but both have pluses and minuses in the user experience and both are based on Xerox's desktop environment.
