I'm not very impressed by MacOS X and Apple to be honest.  I noticed on my
friend's G4, after running MacOS X for a few days, things tend to slow down
quite a bit.  Something like this happens only with Windows, but maybe it's
because of all those M$ applications that come with MacOS X now.  There's
also this thing about having these super-friendly, super-cute GUIs and
applications.  They attract the wrong kind of people (stupid people), and
that is one reason why I use NetBSD.  The userbase is excellent.

Furthermore, that "Sends other Unix boxes to /dev/null" slogan is just
insulting.  You can't even compare MacOS X with Solaris or IRIX.  Apple
should not forget where MacOS X is comming from before making up stupid
slogans like the one in the picture.  I will never ever use MacOS X.  Or a
macintosh for that matter.

Just my $0.02 on this.
