alright alright already, i give. i was having a bad day yesterday and some @#$%'er got me started.
Paul DuBois has pointed out my statement "...for the last 10 years." This was referencing the PC vs. Mac war that's been going on in every newsgroup for the last ten years. I have had my mailbox flooded with this crap for the last ten years and it appeared to me as though he was attempting to be the next to start it up again . Mailing list/News group you call it what you want. it's the same thing. can we just get back to MySQL and forget my referral to the everlasting Mac OS'? i apologize, sincerely, to the whole newsgroup... ...and hope not to have another day like Monday. -----Original Message----- From: NDPTAL85 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 5:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Mac OS X and MySQL John, Mac OS X isn't the same Mac OS that you've been going on "for the last 10 years." Its a radical departure. Mac OS 1 thru 9 were basically the same technology. They had no protected memory and no pre-emptive multitasking. Mac OS X is based on NextSTEP. Its a Unix. A real Unix. So just about anything you would have on FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD you would have on Mac OS X/Darwin. The userland for Mac OS X is taken directly from FreeBSD, albeit an older version and Apple has recently hired the FreeBSD release engineer to help co-ordinate their Unix technologies. So I don't know why you would even presume to judge Mac OS X as "crap" based on the old Mac OS's history. Its not the same ol Mac OS. Its new and its better. As to the guy's response, I saw nothing in it that was "defenseive" or even argumentative. If you cannot tolerate someone asking you to clarify your position then you need to get off a mailing list.
