Many things that MacOS does strike me as "the way computers should be".
Maybe you should start a Mug = Mac User Group ;)
Oh har har. ;) I'm not about to rush out and switch to using MacOS. I really like the ideals of Linux/OpenSource and unfortunately despite all of the Mac appeal it is not OpenSource. MacOS/Apple is a lesser evil than Windows/MS. But it is still an evil. But as a PC for "normal people" you can't go wrong. Also, after 8 years of hacking at the command line I've become too accustomed to using Linux. I've learnt to live in a Linux world (with all its warts and lovable foibles). Even Windows is hard to live with (which is what I use on a home media/games machine) now that I'm so used to Linux. I can't just go "kill -9" to Windows Media player when it clocks up or restart Explorer when it inexplicably crashes and doesn't come back. I want a Laptop and I want it to run Linux. A MacOS PowerBook or iBook would be a distant second place option.
