I have no quarrel with the thesis that Apple is dying, it's been an Olympic event in the last 25 years: Apple DeathWatch. Ten years ago I came to USA, started a business a year later bought a Mac and FileMakerPro and to this day I don't want to know what resource fork means. Good thing: you can hire a lot of smarties who do. they even have a hair-cut before they come for an interview ... and they think they got themselves a good cut after they are hired. There used be talented repackagers in Cupertino, much more talented than in F*land. But... I stopped buying Apples since the Moron killed the cloners who started to exhibit better engineering by that time. There was a lot of talk about G4, but look at the pathetic chipset they put it in. Nearly as crappy as x86. --- C Peter Biessener wrote: > > As someone around here said recently, FreeBSD users prefer "proper" > > computers ie NOT AppleMacs :) Seriously though I was certainly > aware of > the > > OpenBSD support, but thats not a relevant issue for me ... & many > > "serious" users are probably in the same boat for that matter. > > I choose to take issue with that statement.
