Right, so who cares? There's plenty of room in this world for a little diversity of OSes. > needs of desktop users and admins are vastly different... To a degree, that's certainly true. However, that said, if there is any company in the world that understands what desktop users need (and want) more than any other, it would be Apple. Therefore, if there is any company in the world that has the best possible chance of being able to deliver on having the full power of Unix under the hood, but being able to hide that behind a really good GUI for desktop users, that would be Apple. > And keep the change: it comes handy in Niederlanden - wish you good > weather there and be careful with real bear and real PhD's :) As someone living in Belgium, and about two hours away from the country in question, I can safely say that it is *NOT* "Niederlanden". Most appropriately, it would probably be "Nederlands". Moreover, since modern beer was invented/discovered by a Belgian monk, I can safely say that it is not spelled "bear". At least, I have to assume that you meant a fermented alcoholic beverage, as opposed to a large member of the Ursine family of mostly vegetarian quadrupeds. -- Brad Knowles, /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
