I've been getting my wife used to the idea that my 6.+ year old ThinkPad
600 is coming near the end of it's useful life.  On one hand, I would like
to get a 15in PowerBook, but I keep remembering how much I *HATE*

OS X Tiger.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are
men who want rain without thunder and lightning.  They want the ocean
without the roar of its many waters.
