    And if I asked...

    a roomful of Zoroastrians what the best religion is, what would they reply?

    That's what "running software that's consistently reviewed as the best available" gets you in a market characterized more by dogma than technical knowledge.

    I'm very happy your Mac works for you. There's nothing wrong with it. The lot of you, please stop trying to convince me I'm going to hell for not using one, or not giving Steve Jobs my car. I figure the man already has a pretty darned nice car.

    (I'm typing this on a $100 Ubuntu box I put together for fun)
