    I've never been a big fan of Apple, even before I made the switch to 
Ubuntu, and through that the Open Source market as a whole. It's an 
entirely subjective opinion, based mostly on my hatred of 
pretentiousness, which Steve Jobs, and the whole  "Think Different"  
movement seem to exude. Not to mention that the main purpose of OSX 
seems to be to distance the user from the nuts and bolts of the OS 
rather than allow them to really work on it. I felt much more free 
tweaking windows than I ever did using the Tiger Terminal.
    Who else isn't excited for the Macbook Air?
