Mac OS X does pretty much everything that Linux does plus it was better

I'm not sure about its non-Apple support being better. For instance,
I have to tell Word every time that I want my Kodak printer to print
duplex. Linux has to support all hardware and software.

Howard: pretty much any piece of Linux software can be recompiled for
Mac OS X. So if it works on Linux, you can make it work in precisely the
same way the Linux guys do: compile it and install it.


Better yet, just dump the crap OS X OS and load up linux ... your choice
of apps and games will be MUCH LARGER! Only problem then with be the
actual MAC hardware, which you will have to deal with and upgrade, if
possible.

Nope. Because with Mac OS X you can run Linux apps and games, but Linux
can't run Mac OS X software.
