19 so why do you own a mac?
20
21 Just days ago I beachballed a mac adding some pictures to a word document.
22 Yeah, that is the legendary MacOS stability.
23
24 Next time I sat on a mac there were 37gb of stuff in trash. The poor owner
25 tried to delete them. MacOS showed the apropriate reaction, no error anyway -
26 and no file was deleted.
27
28 Had to go down to the shell - and even after that some crap was still left.
29 Undeletable and with no error messages or informations why.

31 Apple's macos is the worst of all OS I had to deal with. OpenBSD is a hostile
32 little bitch, but at least you can get the information you need out of it.
33 Solaris? Not half as broken. WindowsXP? A sow rolling in mud munching on
34 garbage but at least it does not die a horrible death just because you add
35 some pics to a word file. VIsta is just a bigger sow.
