I am finally no longer leashed to my PC! It is still difficult, although much easier than before, to find a suite of apps which harmonizes on Macintosh. But with OSX it is easier than ever. When OSX finally got Palm support (yes, I know it was always available in Classic) I moved my Palm over from the darkside and kissed Windows dependancy goodbye. This left me with a PC which I use only to watch TV on. Being that OSX is essentially a *nix flavor, I am going to try to install Slackware again. Wish me luck on this one too.
