Well of course it is. OS X was a complete from-the-ground-up rewrite. There's code in OS 9 that was in System 1 on the original Mac128K. And Windows is an application that sits on top of DOS. It's a shell. That's a simplification but there's much truth to it. Microsoft's next OS supposedly finally does away with DOS as Apple did with System 1 when they released OS X. r -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
