can apple start a new line of os like using the "plan 9" core instead the ancient BSDs. i hope this message can get to the ears of mac engineers.

Sorry zizi, I've been at MacWorld all week, and I can tell you first-hand that as far as Steve Jobs is concerned, you're stuck with the "ancient BSDs".

Well, I obviously don't fit in here, and I really don't seem to think the way you do. I cannot understand how anyone could possibly think that OS 9 is superior to any other operating system in use anywhere ! It seems to me that Zizi just wants to make MacOS even worse than it already is by refusing the improvements Apple has finally finished putting into its OS. Maybe our brains just aren't built the same way ???

aah, you are wrong dude, "Plan 9" was developed by bell-labs and by the same dude invented the c language. now the operating system "plan 9" is licensed under oracle! so, you better know what you talking before you speak!

oups, it is not oracle, plan 9 is licensed under Lucent tech!

This is my last Mac post. I came to this board hoping to convince some people that buying a Macintosh will do them no good, but I find myself repeating the same lines over and over not only to the prospective Mac buyers, but to the people who already own Macs, whom I have no business talking to because I know that I hate Macs and all the people who use them, for good reasons. Well, you pro-Mac vigilantes win, not because Apple is the better computer company, but because I've finally realized that here, some of you have been right all along in saying that I am doing nothing to further the course of my mission, which is selling more computers for IBM. It is with sincere apologies for the annoying mess I have created that I withdraw my membership from the Macintosh forum. --- Diana G. Ingersoll --- PC & Mac Tech Support, CAB HRS Inc.

What took you so long, Diana? Oh, and good riddance. Many of us are forced to use Wintel crap at work. We KNOW the difference, but don't know what business you have doing Mac tech support.
