[Tfug] Steve Jobs has passed away

[Bowie Poag]

Welcome to my world.

Darwin/OS X is a beautiful thing.

If my workplace would let me, i'd ditch the friggin 8-core Dell  
monster they gave us to use as a workstation and replace it with the 6  
year old Mac Pro. It's only worth to me is as a Unix workstation, and  
there are better Unix workstations out there than Linux.
