Especially because Linux machines don't require you to have a suped up computer to function well.
Cool about the creativeness....I don't make any music, but i've wrote poetry and some lyrics for a friends band. Don't know if he ever did anything with it though. I get what you're saying with linux, but the nature of our economics will prevent linux from ever being a contender sadly. Add in the inclusive marketing snobbery from mac, and bam! you get stuck with windows...which could be a great OS if you could strip out all the old, useless code and build it streamlined from the ground up.

Yeah, the worst part is the mac snobbery, because it's totally a function of marketing. They market all their products with a zero-sum mentality of "mac is cool, so if you have mac you're cool and if you don't you suck" I hate that kind of exclusive metality.

Yeah, i have 4 POC alleyvipers up for trade and my wants are Clone Wars stuff, Aayala Secura and some of the CW Scout Walkers (ATRTs) and i was offered one walker and one ayala for all 4 alleyvipers. The walker was like 15bucks retail -with- a figure. So, to me, it's only worth $7,or one alley viper. the other person linked me to some web toy retailer who wants $60 for the walker MOC, as justification for stating it's worth as 3 alley vipers. It just kinda floored me. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't a jerk about it, but it just kinda ... well, floored me.
