    Freebsd

    Just put Freebsd on an old I86 machine.

    At least then you can get under the hood.

    Interesting comment Threaded thanks - that is exactly what my brother said. Something about Macs being powered by Intel chips and ditching IBM chips.

    Mac are better than PC's (and also look better unless you invest in designer case's/monitors)

    But about 80% of the software is designed for PC exclusivly, 15% eventually get Mac version but much later than the pc

    So unless you are heavly into graphic/artistic design i would never recommed a mac to anyone

    I believe some bint was also seduced by the Apple, and look at the price every man has paid since. Go look it up in your bible!

    Since you can't accept rational arguements about non-existance of God and general bullsh1tness that comes from the Church, it is understandable that you will consider buying Mac.

    Maybe your God will allow you run x86 software on it?
