Agreed.

Looks more like your left index finger is sticking to me.

Mine too.

I agree.
M$ sucks big red monkey ***.

I've been reading all the comments on MacOS.  I LOVE MacOS but don't
have a computer that'll handle X yet.  I'm stuck w/ 8.6.
It's very stable for me.  Of course I have to reboot nightly, NOT
because the system is unstable but because netcrap takes memory and
doesn't give it back.  I need all the ram I can get for the nightly
server backup (Retrospect rules BTW).

I also am learning to program for the mac (pre X).  I have grand plans....

What I haven't seen yet is anyone's opinion on Applescript.  I have done
a bit w/ applescript and find it to be very easy and powerfull.  I love
being able to automate most of my job.  Granted that a dead hering could
do my job but still...

I have never seen anything like it for *nix machines.  If there is
please tell me.

Anyone have any experience w/ Applescript?
