Fear and Loathing in Cupertino

| It wasn't until later, giving the same presentation at Linux World that
| I'd missed giving at the Apple show, that I realized that Apple were
| scared of the SuSE Linux desktop I was using. They didn't want
| customers to see anything other than Apple-badged everything at
| their show. Especially if it was something better. They were
| scared of their customers even seeing a choice.

Linux: A Mac, without all the shackles and the price tag, and with permission
to modify and learn the code. Of course, it handles HPC and embedded devices
as well.

| I'm a marketing guy, and I look at everything in my world from a marketing

| thing is unnecessarily hard work - so I take an easier approach to help
| people move in that direction.

| And to finish this article, Kudos to Linux. I get two reactions when
| people look at the desktop on my Laptop and Desktop. One is.. "Er.. is
| that a Mac?" and the other is "Why don't you just buy a Mac?". Well
| kudos is due, because I don't NEED to buy a Mac. I can get the Mac
| look and feel, which I like, and the massive productivity boost of
| the desktop cube ( and enjoyable extras ) even on my three year
| old HP laptop.
