What's to talk into? It's a choice between Linux and Mac. Windows
isn't a viable option and nor can I see a rationale where a technical
person would all anybody to make such a bad choice. I'd personally not
go for the Mac on liberty grounds but that doesn't have to tie anyone
else down.

Bad choices are made by people without all the considerations. Emotion
unfortunately effects such a high price on rationale thinking.
