- The MAC OS was upgraded beause it sucks!. The reason they never had to change
- TOS so much is cause it was reliable. I don't go for a company that won't let
- it's developers and or users customize their software and computers. Apple
- wants everything to look the same. Besides, there is a UNIX boycott aginst
- for runnig aroound and slapping everyone with Look-Alike law suits.
-
- Even the MAC Bible slashes Apple and their lame OS...
