What about > Microsoft? Repeat after me: "X is not UNIX. X is not UNIX. X is not UNIX" You can run a UNIX system without X, as you well know. You can run X on top of things other than UNIX (Windows, for example). You can run a UNIX system with a GUI environment other than X. Apple have produced such a beast, which they clearly believe to be better than X. You'd have to ask them why they think that. -- =========================================================================== Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID | "Eagles may soar, but weasels Cambridge, England | 0x54B171B9 | don't get sucked into jet engines" scott.mitchell@mail.com | 0xAA775B8B | -- Anon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
