Which makes it tedious and frustrating for Linux devs.

Just horrid support, I suppose.

Ron: I know, it’s weird, huh? There are conflictinga anecdotal studies of Ubuntu vs. OS X ;) It seems like there’s this large mid-range of people who don’t want Windows, want something Linux-y, but don’t want the fuss of all that Linux, even if it’s just “one simple thing” like getting a wifi card working. I couldn’t get my wifi card working out of the box either for my trashed Dell.

I just recently switched to a MacBook Pro and I love it. Charles you should really give it a shot! I’ve been a Linux guy for years and OS X just simply blows anything I’ve used away.

“It just works”.

Sorry about my rambling – but it was an unrehersed voice comment.

In other news, scary red demons attack my screen.
