Shrug. OK Rich but OSX is a *ix.

People I know who use OSX are either after the ease of use & wish to
know knothing about computers or who do & actively appreicate the fact
that OSX is an (on intel) *ix.

OSx on PPC is/was too but hey now you've got a shiny easy to use *ix on intel so....

It's just a pity that they don't licence OSX to HP esp for use on laptops but hey.
