the "Necromac" is compelling; it's just the thing on which to play DOOM, or 
whatever antisocial kids play nowadays.

is there something that makes leica users gravitate to macs in greater
numbers than the overall 4% user base? (i read that the apple user base has 
just broken through the 4% level for the first time in a long while)

the kids have a frightfully old G3 (1997 "beige" vintage, older than my son),
which despite its decreptitude hosts OS X 10.4 Tiger.   the wife has an 
ibook 
running OS X 10.3.  

my OS is linux; the house has 1 1/2 linux machines (the 1/2 is a 
dual-boot thinkpad), or 3 1/2 if you count two TIVOs on the LAN.  
the other 1/2 is the XPP half of the dual boot thinkpad, the id against the 
superego as it were.  XPP is unfortunately mandatory for my school work.  
sitting under my desk is a mostly powered-off solaris 9 SPARC 
machine on which i periodicaly consider installing solaris 10 for no 
particularly legitimate or sensible reason.
