If you're really paranoid, save your money. I wouldn't get a Mac, I'd buy a cheap Dell or whatever (heck, build your own computer for 500$ if you already have a screen) and install Fedora or Mandrake or whatever the hell you want to install. As long as it's a Linux distro.

The problem with Apple IMO is that you pay a lot for the hardware. OSX rocks, the hardware is still eh though unless you want to start spending big bucks

Edit: I'm not sure why I quoted the buffer overflow post.. I really don't remember. I think I wanted to quote the message about getting the mac right now before they suck. Why would they suck? Because they got faster (therefore better?) hardware? I find that reply baseless, sorry.
Everybody's got an opinion. 6 Years ago they were going bankrupt. Oh well i guess everyone should get what they want. That much I will agree with. As far as Apple hardware is concerned; someone brought out one of these last night.

It was running microsoft word 5.1. My G4 runs Microsoft Word 5.1. To me thats saying a lot about hardware. I got a Mac plus the same time I got an HP touch screen. You know one of those Hp's with the green type. The HP Bit the dust long ago. The Mac Plus is still working and can still share files and applications with my G4. I think that prettry good.
