I know that, but the important thing is you and me both are not Apple  
'fanboys' who worship Steve Jobs' used gum wrappers. I use Macs  
because they work well, and are decent quality, and run on UNIX. I  
used to hate Apple until OS X came along, and I will again if they  
ever deteriorate back into the same putrid swamp of complacency and  
bad design thy were back in the mid-90s.

Why mame such a fine piece of engineering? I am pretty ruthless when  
it comes to hardware mods, but i do them to improve things, and you  
can't improve on systems that good really :P\

At the end of the day any great computer deserves to live, any bad one  
probably deserves to die, so you may as well use it as an organ donor  
for some frankenstein activity if you can ;).
