Are you trying to say that Mac OS X is decidedly better than Linux? You must be joking. I like OS X pretty well, but it has a number of significant weaknesses. I hate Windows, but I'm willing to admit that it is better than Linux and Mac OS X for many people. If I use my car for commuting, I shouldn't get a semi truck. If I'm trying to ship goods, your Maserati is almost completely useless. Use what does what you need or want. For me that almost always means use Linux, sometimes means use OS X, and occasionally means use Windows. P.S. One time in high school I mentioned to a co-worker that I had converted someone to Linux. His response was, "Don't you have more important things to convert people to?" He was kidding, but it's a good point. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
