So far this is following the usual non-geek trajectory.

The very version of Ubuntu that sent me over the edge. Nice.
The rest of the specs are very respectable for 2008.
Pouring a cup of coffee and about to read @larand 's blog posts. Got side-tracked from all of the "Grrr. Linux. Pitchforks." stuff.
@thrrgilag Okay, bug, you're one exception trap away from "Party over". The sheriff is in town.
@larand Yeah. I can see where that would get old. I started to feel that way for a while when all of the talk was from iOS developers or social media douche-canoes
@hybotics The vast majority of my time in Linux is spent in terminal windows. All other uses, outside of being a server, are better handled by Windows or Mac.
Yeah. With the CAD stuff, you're going to need cores, horsepower and RAM. That's for sure.
The ThinkPad I am looking at can be equipped with Xeons and go to 64GB of RAM which struck me as ludicrous but, apparently, there are folks who actually require that power in a laptop.

@matigo And this answers the question I've been meaning to ask but never got around to..
"Who is @x and why is everyone spamming him/her with random stuff?"

@larand That's kind of the way we talk to each other. :) I think it was a culture clash more than anything else. I do know he wasn't meaning to make you angry at all.
@hybotics There are some things Linux will always be superior at. For me, unfortunately, it's short-comings in everything else keep me in MacOS or Windows.

@larand Hate to see that. Especially over a programmer/non-programmer failure to communicate.
