"Tomorrow I will get on a plane. I'll have my PowerBook with me. On that flight, I can write Cocoa apps, PHP-based web sites, Tomcat web applications, AppleScripts or Perl scripts. I can use Project Builder, Emacs or vi. I'll have my choice of MySQL or PostgreSQL to use as a back-end database. I'll use Apache as my web server. And it is all free! If I'm willing to spend a little cash, I can also run Word or Photoshop. I may even watch a DVD on the flight. " Aaron HillegassUnix under the Desktop article from Linux Journal.
Here's what my OS X looks like:
bash2.05 jerry@localhost ~ % uptime
10:44AM up 18 days, 17:16, 1 user, load averages: 0.49, 0.18, 0.09
It's true, OS X died 18 days ago when I accidentally unplugged it. What I really need is a counter to show how many times internet explorer has died during those 18 days. It doesn't matter, except as a minor annoyance, I just re-start it and keep on moving. On the other hand I've downloaded the latest Mozilla build for OSX and it looks pretty good.
