"UnWise" files suddenly found on my PC
I've had to use both at work. In fact, since this was a computer lab,
everyone used the PCs, forcing me to use the available Macs. I really
like OS X because it has nice GUI interfaces and the times that it
doesn't I can do command line stuff just like in any *nix box. I only
ask of one thing: QUIT MAKING SINGLE BUTTON MICE. OS X works great with
a two button mouse. Why they don't come with them is beyond me. I got
to the point where I could use a mac or PC for any of my work and it
made no difference at all. Gaming.. well, I'd go with PC on that.
Now to the Xserve: That think looks really cool, but there is plenty of
stuff that doesn't support the mac CPU. This can make setting certain
things up a pain when with an x86 box it would have taken no time at
all. It might just need more time for more things to support the CPU,
but so far, we've gotten everything to work with the OS X xserve.
