Not being a coder, I can't speak to this.

Yes, no, sort of. Many Linux apps have OS/X versions; some apps run on
the X11 server that can be installed on OS

That's true, maybe I have then choosen the worng words. More what I wanted
to say is, that the value the ThinkPads had to me was never decreasing
much. They are good working tools and they stay it. Battery lifetime
usually sucks at some point, but that is more or less all.

If you just want to do work (or play), Mac OS/X is pretty sweet. Things
like iMovie and iTunes are pretty awesome. USB devices "just work". Plug

Since when is a personal computer a good investment that holds it's
value? Computers are like cars, the day you buy it, it drops in value
20%!!! Now, IBM's might keep value RELATIVELY better than OTHER laptops,
but it hardly makes them a "good investment" that "keeps it's value".

On Sat
Had so far three IBM laptops (Thinkpad 770, Thinkpad 600, Thinkpad T20)
of which I bought the last two used at e-Bay. All worked great with Linux
and anyways they are an good investment, great working machines which keep
their value.
