Personally, I applaud Mac for going the *nix way, and for the efforts they are now putting towards the OpenSource model. More market-share to 'em!
I Agree, that seems the nice thing. And will be better if Apple let us access this interesting part of OSX - and of this thread of discussion - (access intended as the possibility to install and run free classical GNU software: Emacs, Vim, Apache and so on); ehehe, I'm asking to Apple to create for me a Linux platform...;).. But if finally the Big Apple will go just a little in near to that, maybe I'll buy a beautifoul IBook:). For the one-eye mouse, I have no problems. Latest news: it seems that The Cube has serious problems to power switch in front panel that causes problems in both cases of cold or extra-heat status of the machine. Smell of crispy Apples and little smoke, but no problem... Want to put the internet address of this article but was a news page and now I see other stuff:( For the religious war: it depends from the fact that we could do alternative choices on the OS and applications to run on our machines (Thanx to Linux). But we remain all in a nice tone. It seems to be a good sign of dinamic environment. Best Regards, Fabrizio
