You could just run Linux on your PPC, and then you get flexibility...  I
think that is the biggest thing that I don't like about OS X.  It's
great if you want to be like Jobs when you grow up, but if you want some
flexibility you need to go with something else.  And I still feel like
all my X windows applications are second class citizens.

Plus, there is something to be said for freedom (on an ethical level).=20
Love the Apple hardware, and the software is beautiful, but I still
prefer to run Linux.

OT: I just got my Yellowdog 3.0 CDs.  Anyone interested?  It's really
nice :)
