10/1    Though I'm likely the last Mac-oriented CSUA member to upgrade my
        OS, I gotta say that invoking ssh from the UNIX innards of my
        iBook is wonderful/weird. -elizp
        \_ Hey buddy, try invoking your terminal to 80 columns.
        \_ Ain't it cool, though?  It still gives me shivers.  Now go install
           Quicksilver and let's really get this party started.
           \_ Pffft, you could do this on a PC laptop for the past ten years...
              Apple, the company that hypes up things that everyone could
              do already, i.e.
              Ipod - glorified nomad jukebox
              iBook - glorified laptop that runs half as slow as everyone
                      else and costs twice as much
              iMac - glorified VGA monitor with builtin toaster
                \_ hi dumbass. it's more than glorified. maybe you meant
                   "competent" or "efficient" or "actually working".
                   \_ When you're in a cult, it seems like there is no
                      life outside of it, but there is.  You *can* find
                      help, and there is hope for a cult-free existence.
                      do not despair.
              Yeah, let's all switch so we can't run the applications that
              we need.
              \_ Think Different!  Think Slower!  Think Higher Cost!  Think
                 Different!
              \_ did steve jobs kick your puppy or something?
                 \_ Yeah, and that puppy's name was "Apple ][e."  The
                    last good computer.
                    \_ I still miss playing Bilestoad.
                       \_ Then find an Apple ][ emulator and download it.
                          I found Bilestoad and Taipan online.
        \_ I don't miss my sun ultra 5, anymore. My G5 screams. It's the
           best of both worlds: Mac & unix.
           \_ What you said.  Most people who complain about Apple haven't
              actually tried the new stuff yet.
           \_ You're comparing an ancient U5 to a modern G5?  Duh.
              \_ Actually, it's a pretty good comparison; the U5 was
                 underpowered and based on old PC technology when it came out.
