I remember that. Back in 1995 or 1996, Sun was touted as a savior who could rescue Apple from its incompetence. Times have changed indeed. I still wish that Apple had bought BeOS instead of NeXT. If only Jean Gassee hadn't been such a greedy tool. |

But why? Fast forward to 2008: Apple is 16 times the size of Sun. -Ramon |

In its own way OSX is as miserable as Windows. Which would be fine if it wasn't also so weird on the command-line. Leopard is a lot better than prev editions but theres a LOT of weirdness in OSX. Authentication & daemon management to name two are bizarre, poorly or undocumented and quite user-unfriendly- the XML you have to wade through in OSX is a real PITA- and don't get me started on how obnoxious Finder is. Give me Gnome any day- and I'm no great fan of Gnome either. Just got through bringing up an exim & courier-imap combo on a new OSX box. Complete pain compared to Solaris/Linux. Gregm |
