I'm told that OS X, for most people, will feel a bit faster for
somethings, a bit slower for others, but it is just MacOS with some fancy
gui things.

I'm told that you did deaper it also feels a lot like FreeBSD, but I
didn't dig that deep.

It's kinda freaky making NS calls on a box that looks like MacOS.

I really wish I could afford one though.  But I'm hearing iffy things
about GL, and what I most need is something that does GL well.  After
that, I need something with decent video capture and playback.  I think an
O2 would fit the bill nicely, and that why I'm hoping, hoping, hoping to
be able to get one come fall.
