Enough is Enough.

After a dozen years of using Macs, I've had enough. The hardware looks trendy. The software looks trendy. The user interface is trendy and cool. I mean, hello, drop shadows? animated window minimization? Tacky! Eff the trendy already. Just because we've got programmable graphics cards doesn't mean we have to use them. Sheesh. And that mouse. What's with the mouse? It's a waste of time. Mousing all over when I could be using the keyboard. Not to mention I don't ever have to restart the things. My Mac at home currently has an uptime of 35 days. How do I know it will still pass the Power On Self Test if I never have to turn it off due to crashes and blue screens? Enough is enough. I'm replacing my Mac with a modern computer. IBM PC AT Black and green, baby. Black and green.

At the recent Pwn 2 Own the Mac was the first one hacked...Ubuntu was the only OS that stood strong.

This has to be related to today's date. Unless Rob, you want to walk the talk and trade computers?

@Adrian: Can I run Ubuntu on my new IBM PC AT? Is 640 KB enough, or will I need to upgrade to a full 1 MB? Will Ubuntu work with EMS?

Let me list some things Ubuntu won't work with:

1: My PC hardware.
