or just buy a mac, plug it in, switch it on and forget about it!!!

It's almost like owning a car which doesn't need servicing and does about 800 mpg and can still reach 0-60 in under 4 seconds!!!

I found it more reliable (not as optimistic) as Speednet. Maybe 'cos you have to specify your provider. I got 1Mb less than Speednet showed on download speeds. Cheers.

Linux does the same, only it's priceless and newest distributions still can be run on, let's say, P2 400 MHz/256 MB RAM
It's the same as with cars - if ur lazy, buy porsche, if not - buy audi
