Correct me if I am wrong, but Jordan has always championed FreeBSD as a server OS. He has consistently taken the tack that If someone wants a FreeBSD "desktop" (whatever that means) then they can hack at it. I also seem to recall an interview where Jordan decried world domination mindsets of the early unix vendors and the "green before red" in the kilts comments of open source movements. I think the Globe starts the article portraying him in way that is inconsistent with what I have seen from Jordan. And Jordan, if you read this, Get Solidworks and Pro/Engineer (3D CAD systems) to run on Mac and I will buy one as my next computer! If Apple wants to break into the engineering market, Apple needs these apps. Vellum 3D doesn't cut it. Later, Jason C.
