AFAIK, computers at _The Apple Store_ have never shipped with a

This is true, and all of the recent Macs run OSX which is a BSD Unix
variant.

To ALL: As I understand it, that means Macs are running the daddy of
Linux! GOOD FOR THEM! ;-)

Nope, Macs are based on BSD which was an offshoot of Unix and unrelated to
Linux.
They are similar.

To James, et al: When I said that Unix was the daddy of Linux, I should have said that there are other offshoots of Unix, which you have confirmed in this message! So Linux and BSD are related, and I bet it would not take much to get Linux programs, if you know how to(which I do not) to work on a MAC! :-)
