On that subject, no.
The computer is as much a tool of amateur astronomy as the telescope
these days. Discussions about computer technology ARE topical. Yes, they
sometimes get a bit out of hand, but so do discussions along the lines
of refractor vs. reflector or goto vs. starhopping.
The ongoing Mac discussion is contained in one thread (with a near miss
on another). How hard can it be to avoid the discussion if you aren't
interested?
