Dinosaurs and evolution....
In my opinion, Mac is a pretty good OS. But overpriced and closed source. Being closed source ranks it amongst the dinosaurs of the digital age: close to extinction....

The future of software is definitely open source.

Greetz, Pjotr.

OT: Isn't Linux just great? Simple if you want it to be simple, infinitely changeable if you feel like tweaking... Safe, secure, stable, and free! Puts the fun back into computing. The best digital present I ever had! happy
