When I started studying computer science I struggled to keep up with PC-users. I made my Amiga do TCP/IP and LaTeX and had to work out some stuff by my self, while others just used ready-made Linux Distributions. After about a year I would bite the bullet and get a PC and Suse-Linux. Five years later I got an iMac and Photoshop Elements because I was sort of underwelmed by Linux sound and graphics software and hardware. Evidently I wouldn´t have switched to mac before they got OS X and multitasking!
