The PSU/Mainbord + service cost 600. Yes, I know I was robbed. > There's something funny about "free software ... buyer beware" You're mincing my words. I said "free software on a mac, buyer beware", there is a big difference and you know it. > In that case, thank goodness my OS (Darwin) is built with free software! I wasn't going to reply to your email, but then I saw this line. You're kidding your self if you think that you're running a free operating system. Statements like this confuse people and damage the message of freedom I, and others like me, work so hard to spread. I would love to throw my hands up and say "I'm not even going to list all the things wrong with that statement" but I fear it will result in even more boring flames being sent to the list. Instead I will enumerate a few things off the top of my head: 1) Where is the Darwin source code? No, I mean all of it. [1] 2) Where is the Aqua source code? 3) Where is the Finder source code? 4) Where is iTunes source code? 5) Why is dtrace on OS X crippled so it can't probe iTunes? ... ad nausem [1] http://www.macnn.com/articles/06/02/24/darwin.for.x86.limits/ -- Noah Slater <http://bytesexual.org/> "Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results." - R.
