lanxxx I know exactly what you mean. About two years ago I was actually 'bored' with OS X because there wasn't really much I could do aside from the occasional bit of tinkering. I decided to build a couple of beige boxes and install an assortment of Linux distros. This move satiated my desire to hack, modify and generally tinker. However, I came to the realization that I was never actually achieving anything much in particular - aside from an increase in personal knowledge of geekery. I've been a full time Mac user since 1989 and never really strayed from the path of the Apple faith, but I will say this; pretty much 'almost' everything works on the Mac, therefore allowing one to get things done and generally be more productive.
