But yeah, you know, sitting here thinking about it some more, I really
wish they would open the platform up for retail hardware. Eff the Mac
since all it is anymore is a high priced HP/Dell, what have you.
Personally I dont even give a Damn if they open source the whole thing
whcih is something you'd never see anyway but still. I think its time
that they open the platform for more than their "hardware"
