I Wish I Had a Mac

[Paladin9]

I dont know why you guys talk about "giving up" computers becuase I never do.  I just get new ones and the all just kind of pile up.  I like havling lots of old computers  

[hm_murdock]

I'd be the same way, but when I got my iMac, it was decided for me that I was not "allowed" to have five operational computers.

Thanks dad.

So my K6-2 550 was stripped down and partsed out at a garage sale.

I got the HD.

Yay.

[Paladin9]

I will never get rid of my computers, never!  Unless, I guess if someone ofered me a lot of money for one, but that would never happen.

The cat said she'd tear up your peecee.

Then, you'll realize that OS X really is badass and the One True STEP, and you, too will finally STEP in Time.

Yeah, but I wish I could try it out on the hardware I have.. I'm the same way, I'd never sell a PC though. I want to buy a mac sometime, after I build my next computer.

get your grubby mits on OPENSTEP 4.2 or Rhapsody DR2. That's about as close as you'll come to OS X on x86!

How about Apple OpenDarwin?

[hm_murdock]

How about no?

No. No! NO!

Why is it so hard for people to realize that the software components that make it "Mac OS X" are not part of Darwin.

With Darwin, you get a Mach-powered BSD-like UNIX. That's it. It's NOTHING LIKE OS X.

Rhapsody is. Rhapsody DR2 looks nearly identical to Mac OS X Server 1.x, which then evolved into Mac OS X. It looks much like OS 8.5.

OPENSTEP is less like OS X, but not by much. You'll still see where parts of it directly evolved into OS X.

If you get Darwin, you'll be sorely disappointed when you find yourself simply staring at BASH.

Get Rhapsody DR2 or OPENSTEP. Do it. You'll thank yourself. You'll suddenly realize what's been missing from your computer using experience.

I wouldn't give up my PC either.    

ARE U CRAZY??

So you love your pc so much that you will always tolerate endless virusis and infected emails, endless security updates due to the crap patchwork programming of the OS and using an operating system that is released to customers in a beta version by a company that has global monopoly and treats all its customers as gullible mugs!

Don't U think you deserve better than this????

I recommend you looking in the yellow pages under the heading 'Phychiatrists'!! - U obviously need your head examined!!!

Ok solarflare: Learn something...

PC = Windows <WRONG

A PC doesn't have to run Windows, it can run Linux and other good OSs.

And Jimmy - Rhapsody DR2, where can I get that?  :confused:

[hm_murdock]

That's a damn good question. I'm still trying to get it. I think I know a source. I'll find out.

[hm_murdock]

BTW... this is Rhapsody DR2



This is Darwin

[Stilly]

wow rhapsody is about identical to system 9

[hm_murdock]

On the surface. It doesn't take long, though, to start seeing the differences.

Finder isn't there. Instead, it's Workspace Manager.  WSManager is pulled mostly unchanged from OPENSTEP. It behaves and looks nearly identically. It's not the same as the Finder in Mac OS X, which at least kinda acts like OS 9.

[Paladin9]

so... it looks like os8/9 but is similar to OSX behind the scenes?
