Re: Mac OS X and MySQL

John,
Mac OS X isn't the same Mac OS that you've been going on "for the last 
10 years." Its a radical departure. Mac OS 1 thru 9 were basically the 
same technology. They had no protected memory and no pre-emptive 
multitasking. Mac OS X is based on NextSTEP. Its a Unix. A real Unix. So 
just about anything you would have on FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD you 
would have on Mac OS X/Darwin. The userland for Mac OS X is taken 
directly from FreeBSD, albeit an older version and Apple has recently 
hired the FreeBSD release engineer to help co-ordinate their Unix 
technologies. So I don't know why you would even presume to judge Mac OS 
X as "crap" based on the old Mac OS's history. Its not the same ol Mac 
OS. Its new and its better.

As to the guy's response, I saw nothing in it that was "defenseive" or 
even argumentative. If you cannot tolerate someone asking you to clarify 
your position then you need to get off a mailing list.
