I would recommend OS X to anyone, in fact I did recommend it to Dave Latimer
at the meeting, but the main problem with it is the (not insignificant)
(re)investment for hardware. I know that Dave has spent quite a bit on his
computer, and, quite sensibly, does not want to waste that.

I also recommended trying Xandros based on the review in one of the Linux
magazines, but they are another 'buy before you try' distro, that doesn't
sit right with me.
