You fail. While I'll admit, pre-x86 Mac's were great for things that required raw horsepower (Video editing, graphic/3d design), OSX is ass and any flavor of Linux superceeds it, making your Mac of today nothing but a PC with a Windows-wannabe Unix OS that does a miserable job. Oh and the Ipod is an overpriced f**king fad, nothing more. k I had a long reply ready to go but I don't feel like wasting my time dealing someone with such hardliner juvenile behavior. I'll tell you what though, when the ipod fad dies I'll pay you $100.
