May I return you to;

1) 1 mouse button
2) Track pad rather than nipple
3) to big
4) designed to run MacOS X, which I don't like
5) built more for eye candy than use IMHO
6) White - WHY GOD WHY? Black is much nicer :p
7) There was a 7th reason then the phone rang and I can't remember what
I was going to write.
8) Saying anything against a mac makes my housemate squirm.

Hmm, nuff said.

I never said nothing good came out of debian, look at ubuntu, debian
done properly.

linux what it is. Along with IBM, HP and surprisingly DELL. Linux would
still be here without debian, it wouldn't without redhat.
