Here's an interesting thought (although I realise this is drifting OT for the mailing list.. it's still interesting)... Macs are particularily popular because they have a basically flat learning curve. You can more or less work out how to use them from the moment you turn one on. So what do people think of Mac OS X? It's based on a *nix (BSD?) core. Contains a lot of stuff that has a Unix flavour to it, man pages, a compiler and so forth. And it runs on a GUI that has made Macs famous for a long time among people new to computers. I can't stand Macs myself.. for the first and foremost reason that if my mouse doesn't have at least 5 buttons and a wheel I won't use it :-) Who here has some experience with Mac OS X and can share what it's like as a unix-style newbies computer?
