I really hope so. Over the years I got to really like the combination of really nice hardware, friendly GUI, staying-out-of the way system combined with a real Unix in the backend. I wouldn't know what to go to if Apple really were this crazy. Linux comes to mind, but then I would still have to move away from the slick hardware (that just works as opposed to a lot of not-quite-working PC hardware I came accross over time). Please, Apple, don't go there.

> Linux comes to mind, but then I would still have to move away from the slick hardware Linux works pretty well on most Macs, so you could have both. ;-) The main problem is that most Linux GUIs aren't designed for a one-button mouse. You can avoid that somewhat if you map some sort of keystroke to right-click (for some reason, f12 is common), or use a more text-heavy environment. Yeah, I realize it'd be weird to buy a MacBook just to run xmonad on it, but they really are nice physical machines, as far as laptops go.
