    "Frankly, I think it's a piece of crap,"Torvalds writes of Mach, the microkernel on which Apple's new operating system is based, with additional elements from the FreeBSD version of Unix. "It contains all the design mistakes you can make, and manages to even make up a few of its own."

    I reread this article a few days back....I think it's funny. I'm sure Jobs is really enjoying Torvalds comments.

    I never get tired of some good old fashioned Apple Bashing!

    Apple will always be a niche product. They really need a killer mainstream app to get the marketshare they need to compete with the PC's. Torvald's comments aren't helping either. How can you mess-up a *nix kernel? That takes a certain amount of programming savvy.

    BTW, love the new avatar FooL. It seems to suit you.

    Thanks Kymera. I got the idea for it because I like the Duh_Face so much. I just thought it needed a little personlization.

    I heard before that you can install OSX onto an Intel based PC. I wonder if that's true or not (not that I would do it. Just curious.)

    LMAO!!

    Hey I think that Apple is good in it's own right and for certain applications it can't be beat.
    What I thought was funny is all the hoopla Jobs was toting about OSX and comparing it to Linux. What he was trying to do was jump on the Linux-Open Source bandwagon. He was trying to get the Open-Source mentallity crowd behind him with yet another Anti-MS strategy.
    And Torvalds burned him in front of everyone...LOL.

    Shot down in flames...Burn baby burn....!!!

    Linus is my hero! He has learned how to stick it to the man better than anyone I know. As a Libertarian I am inspired by anyone who fights to keep the flow of ideas and technology free.

    BWAHAHAHA! Now that's a good one.

    Man, can't Apple just be content with selling their POS "computers" to old people/hippies/stupid little kids who like bright colors. They should leave the server stuff to the big boys who know what the hell they're doing.

    Apple would not be that bad if they would just get someone to write decent programs for them

    Yes, and started marketing the fact that their computers are decent technically, rather than that they come in 'Five Fruity Flavours '

    That's right. However, I'm partial to the cool black color that the IBM servers come in. Especially the AS/400
