Hi everyone.
I saw mac osX at a local fair here in Madrid. The demonstrator told me that it would do away with Linux since it had a far superior desktop, designed by professionals. And that anyway, all unix based systems would buy it because they have never had a proper desktop like a mac. I told him that KDE2 was available now, that it worked and it too was designed by professionals. Nonsense, he said. Where is the graphics package I asked, wanting to play a little... But by then it was getting late.
Or am I missing something?
Long may we be rid of the nonsense!

Can you honestly name an OS that's easier to use?
Does anyone still write software for them?
Only tiny companies that no one has ever heard of like Adobe, Microsoft, Quark, all the various producers of games ( I don't play games so I don't know an company names to state here, but I know they're out there).... plenty, really. Just pick up a MacMall or Mac Warehouse catalog and you'll find plenty of stuff.
Having had to suffer them at work for 2 years now I think not!
I think that's slightly mis-guided. Don't forget that macs have a different orientation then PCs do: they aren't servers, and there very graphics- and UI- centric.... yes I know many people don't want that, but some people do :-). Just because you don't care for Macs doesn't mean they're trash. JW <p><p>>steve.

Being in the graphics arts field, all I can is Macs stand on their own. I think mac OS X (ten) will be great. If it is all they say, I may even buy a new mac. Much rather dual boot mac 0S X and Linux, than windoze. -- rsweet@socal.rr.com | "There is a God, but He drinks" -o) | -- Blore Linux, the Choice /\ | of a GNU generation _\_v | |
