[Tfug] Steve Jobs has passed away

[Bender]

I don't follow the premise..

His servers are Mac? or his desktop is mac?

Been hearing the, "it just works" line prior to when I was forced to use a mac using System 7.something.

Ok let's consider that. But in relation to having a Unix shell?

How does that manifest itself in real world situations, mac fans?

-OR- what horror stories can be told that were solved by using a mac? (apples to apples, pun intended...)

        I know a guy who owns a data center.  He told me he uses the MAC because he wants everything to work out of the box and he wants the Unix shell so he can do his job.  

        I think all of his servers are CentOS & RHEL

          Yes,
              I remember going to TFUG meetings, and seeing some TFUG-ers
          showing off their iPhones, so there is no denying his influence as a marketing
          genius even over our crowd.
               You're talking to a guy who likes to build his own systems under Gentoo
          and build/configure kernels. I linux that's possible to do, but I can see how the
          average Apple customer would cringe at the thought of that.

                                                                                                                                    Erich

It's hard to describe, but he was part of something that I understood and was part of our history. He represented something important and vital. It was cultural and personal. When I first saw the add "Think Differently", I knew something was going on.
