Re: [LUG] buying a laptop, and some m$ talk

I don't, because I find that blender's user interface
is so god-awful that it's difficult to model anything,
let alone animate. However, Blender is like Mac OS 9:
once you've learnt how, it's very easy to do anything
with it.

What I mean is, it's horribly unintuitive, but once one has learnt it, it's a lot faster to do things with it than with Lightwave or some such thing (apparently.) Kind of like LaTeX and Openoffice.org: one is higher-quality but nearly unusable, while the other is very intuitive and is just as capable of producing crap as M$ Word 97.

Very interesting, thanks Ben.
That was the impression i got from blender too, and i
didn't know that 0S9 was like that.

I read on the guardian this morning that google are
gonna(maybe) release a cheap hardware device. Does
anyone reckon they will go with linux? Goonux or
something ha ha...

That computer sounds about right for the teenage lad
who needs a pc. cheap, and with no high end graphics
card. Preferably one that defaults to automatic
updates.
