I'm typing this on a flat-screen iMac I purchased the week it came out. Of course, history will show that it took two months to arrive, but I have dumped Microsoft products completely at home.

My experience with the browsers is that Mozilla is mostly stable and fast, MSIE chokes on the content at slashdot.org, and Chimera Navigator is truly beautiful in most respects.

This is the first consumer computer that I have ever bought. I used to build my own Intel-based systems, and I still will. I just wanted a machine with balls, and that's what MacOS X.2.1 provides to me. It's by far the easiest to use and also the most useful computer I've ever touched.

My company deals with .NET, and I agree that MS has a habit of 0wning other designs and ideas, but the combination of strong standards-based rendering and other features keep me with Mozilla for the time being. I design my site completely around Mozilla because it comes closest to w3c standards.

No apologies and no turning back.

PS, nice to see you running MT, rands...
