Yeah, I am just nitpicking here… But apple has done some skanky stuff in the past. ex. If a user turned on “Back to My Mac” the mac would size control of one of the ports that the VPN software uses and setting a listener for this port for the VPN to use would silently *fail* even though the AEBS showed that the port was being used for the VPN. Once upon a time this sort of stuff did not bother me so much. Back in the A/UX days I would build X Window and Tex/LaTex from sources. But alas I am in my mid seventies and such adventures are no longer feasible.
