Hmmm…

In October 2001 I took one last look at the Linux box, then reached for a kitchen cleaver, cut off its head, and bought a Mac. The Linux box still hums along happily beside me, doing its work in a lightweight, GUI-free environment, never complaining, never crashing. I love having a Linux server in the home. It’s quiet, reliable, and fun to tweak on from time to time. But it will be a while before I try to use Linux as a desktop OS again…OS X 10.1 is the only OS other than BeOS that I truly ENJOY working with. Windows is just “there.” It offers me no joy — only compatibility. Linux/Unix is like pulling teeth, and has a horrible appearance no matter how hard you try to dress it up. OS X is a beautiful marriage of elegance and power.
