I think it's time for Apple to shake up its advertising campaign. The new 17" FP iMac deserves a better market share. Donald PS Speaking of OSes, I'm reading a "History of Unix for Dummies" kind of article for my web development class. It suggests that Unix held or has the promise of running on any kind of computer. What is being done to OS X to make its Unix code machine specific? Is something in the code specific to the processor? Is it the specifications of the GUI laid over the Unix code that makes it incompatible with anything but a mac? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
