The Tyee. I think so. It is a distinct pleasure to use. I never felt good using Windows or any other operating system. It probably was because of my early Apple experience.

To me, Apple rethought things and I valued that. I still do. If Apple ever becomes a dominant player I will probably switch to another underdog. I don’t think that a monopoly on material things is helpful. I would love to see the human spirit have a monopoly on generosity, truth and kindness.

JamesSTJ asks the question here and Csound1 has the answer. It doesn’t require advanced server configuration, but it does automate it if you approach it from that angle.

In Directory Utility, click Active Directory and then Edit (pencil icon), Show Advanced Options, and check “Create mobile account at login”.

Log on and off, unplug from the network, then log back in.

Mac OS X Netbook Compatibility Chart. This is a nice overview of differing computer laptops that support Mac OS X natively. It is amazing how many support them. I wonder if that is a conscious decision on the part of the manufacture.
