As you have probably realized by now, I have completely taken to the Mac.

Older macs interest me, primarily because they are cheap to obtain and they are of much higher build quality than the PCs. And thanks to Yellow Dog Linux, they serve as fine Linux servers. I am yet to try this, but I would love to.

At the other end, I am convinced that Apple has done the right thing with Mac OS X by building it upon FreeBSD. I was surprised to find out that the core of Mac OS X is Open Source and is available to everyone in the form of Apple's Open Source Effort, Darwin. Aqua (the GUI for OS X) is the best OS GUI available anywhere today. Together, UNIX and Aqua are the future of OS Software. Waitaminit, its already available now!! If Apple (or anyone) could get Aqua ported to x86 Unix distros, then it would be a whole different ball game ..
