Damn right it can!

Ok, I'll shut up now!

do i smell someone leaving behind windows and making a full 360 degree turn over to Mac OS? hmm maybe we should take him over to the linux side?

Slowly making progress that way mate!

As you know, OS X is built on a version of BSD, which is a Unix derivient (Is that the right choice of word? Someone with good gramattical skills help me out here please!). When trying to resolve a problem today I had to, well, chose to), Open up a terminal and look at the Bash shell. Ok, so all I did was some pinging and ifconfigs, but I was in there none the less! I may even look for a basic Bash guide, I'm sure I know someone who could help me with that!

i got and i find it quite good...

It should say..

Bluerinse,

You're looking for the word "derivative".

Let's hope, and I really think Apple will, make a dent in MS's monopoly as Vista is going to have a lot of problems. No 32-bit version of Vista will be able to play the upcoming dvd formats so it's going to force a lot of people to upgrade hardware, and that is going to irritate a lot of people.... Those people may very well change OS's and many will go to an OS that they have to pay for as they do not understand the concepts of FOSS.

No Simon is after that word, I picked the right one, though clearly in a failed attempt at humour
