This commentary on the Macintosh, from a Linux Magazine's point of view, is quite telling. First, it blows away the myth that Macs cost more. A Dell equipped with the same features as Apple's high end machine cost $1000 more. Wow! The same Dell will be 30% slower in speed. Yikes!!
This article deals with the software availability for Mac OS, and the last two paragraphs sum it up:
"To stretch a genetic analogy about species diversity: you can visualize the Mac market as a southern reef full of brightly colored varieties and the Wintel market as an Arctic deep populated almost entirely by nearly invisible plankton and a few whales.
So what's the bottom line? It's a mess with no simple answers. If you look just at current software availability, there are clear holes in the Mac market -- particularly in action games and some business processing. Outside of those areas, however, the Mac software markets offer a greater range of choices and, including available Unix freeware, both more functionality and lower total cost"

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
