Flutterby™! : Mac suckage

Argh. Nothing makes you appreciate Microsoft like getting a MacBook Pro.

Okay, maybe that's overstating the case a bit, because the suckage I'm running into is the sort of stuff that you'd mainly run into as a developer, but... expect a long rant sometime soon about the many ways in which Apple is playing catch-up to Microsoft, but seems determined to beat them to the bottom.

I yearn for the day when a manufacturer will ship a laptop with Ubuntu installed so I can just tell people to buy that, rather than saying "well, buy a Mac because it sucks less than Windows and I hate to have you buy a pre-configured computer just to blow away what's installed on it".
