See #21.
I guess what I was doing was paddling, not dialing.
Nothing, they don't need mac's marketshare.
Set the load source (IPL pack) address with the toggle switches, hit the right buttons in the proper sequence, then you could bring up the rest of the system with that Selectic typewriter/console printer at the CE's right elbow.
Guys in long-sleeved white shirts and ties and suit jackets... it got cooooold on that raised floor at night.
Thanks for the explanation and link!
Linux isn't a bad operating system. It is a great replacement for Windows. It doesn't come near to the ease-of-use of Mac OS X.
Linux-philes will try and argue that Linux is easy to use. For the most part it is. It is about as easy to use as Windows. Installations and uninstallations are a pain. When something breaks there is no easy way to find out what and how to fix it. Linux is an IT person's dream operating system. Free, customizable, powerful, and it comes with a gazillion options. It just isn't everybody's cup of tea, no matter how blue in the face Linux lovers will get trying to argue that it is.
That said, I have a Yellow Dog Linux installation on my Blue & White and it is interesting to play around with. Personally, if I need a robust server I'll go for Mac OS X Server.
I think they've got it backwards. There would be some mac users that would be interested in running the macos, but the majority of this would be linux users who want to have a macbook but have zero interest in the macos.
I'd be in that category. Though I'd probably buy an Alienware or FalconNW first, Apple would be higher than your typical Dell or what not.
