I first saw that about 8 months ago, and its still funny to this day.
I have to say though, macs are easy as shit to manage. When I was doing work on school computers during 8th grade, we had a mac that was crashing on boot. To fix the problem, our schools IT guy had me drag all the startup extensions out of the system folder, and systematically drop them back in, then restart to narrow down the one that was causing the problem. When found, we just replaced it with the same file from another machine.
Although I have always disliked macs from a user point of view, they are heaven for admins. That and OSX gave me a completely different view point on them, Apple did a good job on it.Virtutis gloria merces

I think its probably safe to say that OSX pretty much saved the company from a lifetime of pointless existance and actually threw them back into competition. I go down to the local coffee shop / wifi point and I am the _only_ one without a powerbook or ibook of some fashion. I'm so jealous.if it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud; and I'm gonna go there free.

now people are willing to pay a little more for the hardware in trade for something....style!
lets face it, the average new computer buyer has no clue as to what they are buying. ie. the OS doesnt matter in the slightest.
yes, osX is tight, but it's hardly the reason that they are sellin like hot cakes.... at least, not for the average users....the fresh prince of 1337

OSX based off of BSD kernel...Yep, makes sense why they are back in the game.
Now only if Apple would ease up on the price, I would be apt to buy one. Really would like to get one of the rack mounts in my 42U, all the other servers seem lonly without one! But at $2000, I can't justify the cost."Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups"

I have been looking at macs, and I wish I had the money, cause not only are they sleek, they also are fairly powerful. I harassed a best buy employee the other day, and made him take the cover off a g5 and let me look around inside, they are clean, i mean, not this hobeled together mess that is the pc, this was clean and functional....very envious.~:CK:~
I would like to meet a 1 to keep my 0 company.

Originally posted by yankeeI did the same. Very clean, but the thing that got me was how quiet it was. Dual processor, but the fans made NO noise.~:CK:~
