OK I really don't like my MacBook Pro... and with good reason. So here's my list:

1. No docking station - clearly the "Pro" version is targeted towards business users, how can you have a Pro version without a docking station?
2. No hard disk light - you can never tell if the system is dead or just thrashing away
3. Spinning wheel of death - OK it's more elegant than the M$ BSoD but it still means the system is dead
4. No delete button - It says it's a delete button but it's really backspace
5. No right click button on the trackpad - most Mac software implements right click menus but Mr Jobs insists on omitting it from their hardware
6. Non-standard keyboard - it's just a PITA to work with if you multi-boot
   
7. Un(der) powered USB port - only one of the USB ports has enough voltage to power an external USB hard drive
8. Heat, heat, heat - the MacBook runs stupidly hot, hot, hot. Use it as a laptop at your own risk to your future parenthood

* There are workarounds to alot of the above, but i still hate the Mac

I couldn't find the old nvu web page editor on Gutsy, it is now available as KompoZer, which is a bug fix to the aging nvu 1.0 code. Just apt-get install kompozer
