The story of how a BeOS refugee (and not just everyone, but the author of the 'BeOS Bible' book) lost faith in the future of computing, resigned himself to Windows but found himself bored silly, tore out half his hair at the helm of a Linux box, then rediscovered the joy of computing in MacOSX. Scot Hacker will describe his personal adventures with today's operating systems after he was set out to find an alternative to his beloved (but with no apparent future) BeOS. Update: Make sure you read the second part of the article, a rebutal, found here.

To the people who don't understand why Apple's stuff is more expensive: build quality. Having owned and pounded about 9 or 10 macs over the years (some of them 24/7), I don't remember ever missing a single hour of productivity because of hardware failure. The couple of $100 that you pay extra is quickly forgotten with such a track record, especially in professional settings. (yes, of course some of us have had other experiences with Apple, I know, I know...)
