(2004-01-09) Zawodny Dump Mac Laptop

Jeremy Zawodny has dumped his MacOs X Lap Top for an MsWindows laptop. A modern desktop experience such as Knoppix (Linux[[OS]]) running KDE is actually quite more usable in many respects than Mac OS X. For starters, I don't find myself grabbing for the damned mouse nearly as often... Here's the funny thing. I've found that nearly every one of the Open Source applications I've installed seems to work better and significanly faster on this machine than on my nearly new Powerbook... Even if I could run the applications I need on Linux[[OS]] (several are missing), that wouldn't be enough. Linux still has poor support for hardware - especially in the Lap Top world.
