Thanks for the reply!
I would really like to have a Mac here... or switch to system 10 with a new box, but it's so hard to justify it in our small home office. I use to have 4 machines here, and when we would fire them all up, the house would hum! ha ha These days, I don't care for that too much... and use one desktop running VMWare to switch between Linux and Win, and a laptop for the road.
I'm afraid a Mac here (unless I totally switched over to it from Win2000) would end up being used as much as a rowing machine. (And you know how much they get used!)
That's a strange part about being a webmaster... I change out machines every 2 years, but I swear I could have used the same one I had 5 years ago with Linux on it and it would have been fine!
What other suggestions does one have for designing that Mac understands short of consumerism? Short of whining delicately to the original programmers of opensource systems we run? (Not many are as sweet to work with as the Gossamer staff....)
Thanks again!
