It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

New IBM notebook (R50) + experienced Linux user and Debian stable release.
vs.
My mother (53 years old), just a little computer experience as a user (win 2000) and her iMac.
Both computers: out of the box.
Wel, in short ... within 2 hours, my mom was surfing the web (including making the connection over Cable!) and making photoalbums, burning them to CD, with no support, just by reading the step-by-step manual.
While the Linux crack was doing a new install of the Debian Unstable edition because the stable one didn't work... and then to Suse, then to Fedora .... and then to RedHat some commercial edition ($300,-) and after five days, he was finally ready to do something on his brand new notebook, like synchronising his Nokia 6600 with Bluetooth .... ehhhhh.
