Hi,
I'm sorry if some of you think my comments on Windows were misplaced. I am
actually a Unix geek having worked with HPUX, Sun Solaris and AIX since 1993
and used Windows since version 3.1.
Back in the 90's and up to about mid- '2000, Windows and the h/w it ran on
could not hold a candle to the performance, stability and security of a
Unix server.
In the company I worked for (Int'l bank), it was a rule that
mission-critical
apps could not use Windows as a platform - only Unix or MF.
And to re-iterate, MAC OSX runs on top of a Unix lower layer.

Hey guys,
I don't mean to sound cocky but, please, get a real OS for your next
desktop computer.
Drop Windows and get an intel iMAC. MAC OS X is built on Unix and,
/*therefore*/, a highly reliable system
(no such thing as "blue screen"). It also has a Unix shell built into
the system which is pretty handy for me.
LibreOffice also seems to be a bit more stable on OS X than on StinkDows.
The main drawback for iMAC is price. However, to coin a phrase, "Try
a MAC and you'll never go back!"
Best Regards,

If you can only come up with something like 'StinkDows', and a
definition as '/*therefore*/'......
I certainly will not put that in favor of 'Mac OS X', just because it is
more expensive.
than i rather use a slightly more cheap OS, and also did not have a blue
screen since back in the Win95 days....
(sorry, i skipped Win98& Vista)
