Before OS X you could not have given me one. Now that they ahave grown
up I would like to have one myself. Someone send me the money.
My feelings exactly. Now that it's UNIX, I'd like to have one too.
That was the first reason why I started to consider Mac. After using xWindows
and Unix in Sun and Wax work stations in 1987-1989 I was never very impressed
by MS Windows. It is nice to have Unix again, although I really don't need the
old unix commands, like ls -a and biff, any more...

Right. Because the Mac, being the Mac, buries the command structure the
user shouldn't have to get involved with on an every day basis.
They DO provide for opening a command line, just like Sun OS did, so
that you MAY use UNIX commands if you want to, but most of it is GUI
interface (IOW not text) as always.
I used a Sun workstation for a while (maybe 1990?) while doing CAD work.
Nice, but the Mac is far less complicated for the operator.
Deep down the Mac is pretty powerful, as an interface, and it's easy to
understand (intuitive) and use.
