I'm seriously thinking about abandoning linux (and thinkpads) for a macbook=
.
Because it "just works". No manual loading of modules, no hacking hal
policies to get devices automounted, no sleep problems, no battery leaks in
sleep. I'll probably miss the thinkpad keyboard and trackpoint, but hey..
there has to be a downside, right ?
