Agreed. I have a friend who's an Apple fan that's always trying to get 
me to take the plunge, but my bank account keeps bringing me back to 
reality. He's OK with that, as long as I avoid getting involved with 
that Redmond OS, too.

I agree. It would be as shortsighted to shun interoperability with Apple 
products as it would be to shun those from Microsoft. Like it or not, 
they dominate things. For those who would change that, consider the 
tactic of quietly showing that Linux is the most versatile of the three. 
IMO, it would be more effective in the long run than isolation or 
confrontation.
