Hi Nancy,
I had a hard time with this reading, too. I've been a Mac user for 4 years and I've never had a single hardware or software problem. Apparently, that's lucky for me because I have no idea how my computer works! I enjoyed reading about the history of Mac OS X, but the technical bits of the articles were completely beyond me.
I've used Linux, too, which I found to be prohibitively complicated. I think I'll stick to my MacBook - the evil we know, right?
On John Seberger's Blog:
On the question of using Linux in libraries, I think it's also worth mentioning that the cost of training librarians to use those systems would probably be greater than the cost of Windows and all its frequent upgrades. Windows is still the most widely used operating system, to the point where most librarians probably have it on their home computers. A completely foreign OS, as Linux is likely to be, would be a big adjustment for anyone... even in our field.
