Neal Stephson's own words, from his Slashdot interview:
Neal:
You guessed right: I embraced OS X as soon as it was available
and have never looked back. So a lot of "In the beginning was the
command line" is now obsolete. I keep meaning to update it, but if I'm
honest with myself, I have to say this is unlikely.

I know it is pedantic, but Mike the correct usage is "toe the line",
not "tow the line".

Your logic problem here is you believe using a mac makes you creative.
Anyone who has to use a mac to be creative, ain't so creative.
Those who
feel compelled to write will do so with computer or quill, in whatever
conditions.
On that note, a fun book to be sure..you should stay away from it
Tom, it
doesn't tow your line.

I guess it also proves that creative people don't use PCs willingly.
