The computer is tiny (about the size of a paper back), uses almost no power, makes no noise, and costs only $99.00 US. To get this price though you sign up for 2 years of updates and backups at $13/month, or you can buy the computer outright for $250.
It runs Linux so you'll never get a virus or have to worry about security.

Although there are more security issues with Windows, there are still security concerns when running Linux. If you don't have your Linux kernel built the proper way, it can be vulnerable. Open source does not equate to security.

Or even if it's compiled w/ security in mind, that still doesn't mean there aren't unknown (to the devs) vulnerabilities.

Is there a good Mac site out there that has good info on how to do things on a Mac? I'm not talking about the basic stuff like the apple key and keyboard shortcuts, but more advanced stuff. For instance, I'd be much more inclined to look at Macs if it has Remote desktop software I can use to connect with a home PC I use for connecting to my office and storing files.

I just use the windows Remote Desktop Connection software. I use a laptop to connect into my file server which keeps a VPN connection to my office. I wouldn't mind installing other software on the file server that would allow Macs to connect. I just dont what it might be. I figure there must be sites out there that have all sorts of good info like this that goes beyond the basics.

PC at work.. cuz the software is only written for PC.. and Mac for everything else.
As soon as Macs are Intel-based.. i could boot up Windows XP via Parallels Desktop on my Mac and run the PC software i needed for work without having to use a PC. I finally donated my IBM Thinkpad to another friend.. man, I just realize how much better Macs are in terms of less headache and a much more stable system with a friendlier user-interface.
If you're not using a Mac.. you are really missing out.
