My hint is to buy an Apple Macintosh. I for private use Macintoshes only. I
have a 4 year old Performa and a few weeks ago I bought a second-hand
Powerbook.
The Macintosh is the platform for people who like to be "creative". The
starting costs of the Mac are a little bit higher, but a Mac has a much longer
life-time.
Okay, that is a fact that Linux (and especially Mac OS) does not support every
device driver. But could it be possible that the fault lies at the hardware
makers? I think, they are responsible for device drivers?
