I had an officemate for about a year who swore by it. I'd make the jump for most applications if there wasn't the massive wireless issue that most Linux shells can't seem to solve. I use a USB antenna for my internet and the support for it on damn near every shell is non-existent. I've been considering going the Mac route, actually. The girlfriend is going to get pretty heavily involved in graphic design and basic Mac operation is absolutely essentialy in those careers. She's going to nab an G4 iBook after the G5 comes out. If I like it, I'll keep my PC around for gaming, but might just spring for an iBook myself to do all my other stuff. As for vehicles--Toyota makes a damn good truck. On the farm, we used Chevys primarily because the parts were easy to come by and relatively cheap. With my personal vehicles, I like Toyota and other foreign cars. Hell, my 1981 Volkswagen Jetta was a great car (diesel)--the little 5-speed used to get 50 miles a gallon. I’m generally with you on the Linux issue.
