Re: Apple users?
well... i have had very little problems with windows 2000. the main problems are the little programs crashing, and or needing sp4 to run. ---- that.
linux, i have been very very very very very proud of.infact i think mac os is based off of net bsd. wich is the older brother to linux. the only thing is, mac os is catered to that specific hardware. linux can run it, but isnt coded specifically. for the ppc it is however.

Re: Apple users?
I use osx, windows and linux. osx is the best of both worlds in my opinion, you get the stability of a unix based operating system with the best user interface i've ever used. Don't get me wrong, i'm no mac zelot, I still have my pc and I use it regularly for gaming, but thats it. I'd rather use my mac for everything else. Except for my file server, thats what linux is for. It will be very interesting to see what happens when apple switches over to intel proccessors. I can't wait to try osx on a pc, that will rock.

, you can set your xp up to not look gay. right click your start menu, propertys then the startmenu tab select classic start menu.
then right click the desk top propertys/appearance under the windows and buttons drop down select windows classic style. i hate that ------- gay bubbley looking xp ----
lol

Re: Apple users?
Well being that i was a graphics major i was pushed towards macs and have loved them ever since.
Now that i own my own 15" Powerbook G4 w/ a gig of ram, I'm thinking of upgrading to a nother gig of ram if i start doing heavy video editing
but for running Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, InDesign CS, and iTunes mainly at the same time including various other programs
I does a lot better than my PC.
As far as user friendly, Its kinda backwards for me. When people get on Mac's, at least the students i were teaching, is was a TA, half the people didn't even know how to turn it on or eject the drive.
But i love mine and can't wait til i get a full time job so I can get a desktop G5

Macintosh HD > Applications > FireFox > Rightclick show package contents > MacOS > defaults > profile
"bookmarks.html" will be in there just replace it with your bookmarks from safari. Just export them from safari and replace the file in FireFox. Hope that helps.
