dcoombs got himself a Macbook. He's "amazingly refreshed" at finally having working power management, after suffering through years and years of crap. I remember the first little while with my Powerbook, where I'd pray a bit every time I'd close the lid, only to eventually be enlightened: it won't crash on me a few times a day! The uptime on my Powerbook is basically "how long since the last kernel upgrade", like it bloody should be.
dcoombs: Try minimizing a window while holding down the Shift key. Hehehe! Candy!
Tim Bray went through a while of using Ubuntu on an AMD64, before eventually going back to the Mac. The anti-aliased fonts in Aquamacs are very easy on the eye, and considering how much I stare at text in that program, it's quite a factor. Staring at numbers in "top", despite complaints that some Mac OS X stuff is bloated, GNOME is just a horrible pig by comparison. But like him, I can see the endgame coming. On my Ubuntu box at work, I have to say that Synaptic is quite nice, despite a few dubious corners (which I thinksfllaw told me they might have been fixed in Edgy, since I'm still using Dapper). In the mean time, I'll be using Mac OS X on my desktop, I think, because I'm one selfish bastard, as it is well-known.
