   The nice thing about Apple is there is good long-term support.  The downside   
   of this is that old Apple hardware sells for decent money rather than dropping   
   in price soon after the next model comes out.

   I think there are political problems with the adoption of this model,

   session with a shell server in New York where I keep all my files and   
   have for fifteen years....
