Ernest there is no humor in that comment what so ever. back to the original topic. Try talking to the average mac user about what their OS really is and they look at you crazy. That is why i feel apple has dumbed it down. OSX is UNIX, i believe that it is a variation on the freeBSD kernel, with a number of other flavors of UNIX combined. Since all Apple did was continue the work of NEXT after they purchased them.
If some company started to sell linux computers and setup a fancy GUI that was user friendly, locked away the powerful system commands, and wrote some end user software and started selling their computers. but wait, you have to buy their hardware in order to use their OS even though the base of the OS is designed to run on various types of hardware and systems, and their hardware is nothing special that can't be bought off the shelf. That is why i am happy with the GPL. it prevents this from happening. /end of rant On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 12:49 PM, Sanga M.
