Some post-modern chump fumbling his way through the void.

sounds like an age old plan of generations of big corporations trying to screw with the public.

When I was in school, one of my buddies used a donated mac clone running linux from a floppy as a router for his home network. The mac didn't even have a hard disk.
I have Yellow Dog Linux loaded on my mac - and it still has the old motorola/unix/powerpc platform. I also have OSX Jaguar loaded in dual boot. Linux is a superior operating system in that platform as well - having actual choices of client/server capabilities and varied productivity software.
OSX is Unix. Linux grew from Unix into a movement.
What is the future of Apple? Will they be an OS mfgr exclusively? How could they compete with Micro$oft? Will they be like Gateway and start focusing on devices such as the ipod? The move to the x86 platform might be the beginning of the end.

When worlds collide. Of course, if you're Pluto you're screwed because you're no longer really a 'world' per se, but a lesser, second-class citizen of the cosmos. And that is where the tragedy lies. Pray for sanity in these strangest of times.

A while ago apple, by accident, used to be a sort of cultural symbol of the underdog or the "creative". A particular group of people, whom usually where in the arts, sort of picked up the product because it was different from what everyone else was buying. To spot the Apple sticker meant that you bought a apple computer, which meant that you where NOT a business man. The truth is, it doesn't really matter, especially now. Apple is just as much "the man" as any other bizion dollar corporation is. The days of the underdog leftist apple are over.
I still like them because they pay a lot of attention to visual details in the OS, I think they are far more intuitive, and I don't have to "ghost" the hard drive every other month.
