He's a looney. Takes one to know one?? :-))))) If you go a little further, you find that the Mac OS is Unix with a nice face. Unix as in most large banks, universities, same like Linux as mentioned earlier in this thread. And Richard Dawkins, who appears to be a thinking differently Mac user, is the Simonyi Professor at Oxford University. The aim of the Simonyi Professorship is to contribute to the understanding of science by the public. It was founded by Charles Simonyi and the apparently evangelistic Mac user Dawkins was the first his Professor. And a wicked atheist to boot. But what about Chas Simonyi himself? From the Simonyi site >> Moving to the then nascent Microsoft Corporation, Charles Simonyi became responsible for teams which developed, among others, the popular software packages Word and Excel and was Chief Software Architect at Microsoft from 1981-1991. Does that mean that MS is a hotbed of atheists too? Now we all know that both Word and Excel were developed on the Mac for years before they were ported to the PC. We all know that Vista was developed by MS with a Mac on every desk. So was Chas a Mac user at Microsoft? Was that why he pointed the Professor finger at Dawkins? Is Simonyi a wicked atheist? And what about all those icons? How many people know that many of the OS9 icons are derived from the equally wicked "Life of Brian"? The famous Holy Hand Grenade of Aramethea icon.... the fierce rabbit icon. In fact it gets worse... The System 7 icons were derived from the Goon Show. Does this mean that the Goons were atheists or that the Mac developers had a sense of humour? The mind boggles! Would Jesus have used a Mac or a PC? No doubt about that then, since JC was a fervent and committed Commie like any Mac user. But would his twin brother James have then been able to share the same Mac, or would he have to use a lesser PC? How far does brotherly sharing go? Maybe James could have just had an account on JC's Mac... so easy with Unix. Perhaps the reason that the Mac clock was set so long ago and immune to the Y2K bug was something SIGNIFICANT!! Did you know that there are 666 rivets used in a Blanik?? And that is precisely the number of beer cans which can and should be made from a Blanik! I'm going to rest my head.
