You are not wrong, Al. Mac OS X is based on the Mach kernel, just like
Rhapsody was to be. It is the same software as Rhapsody, just renamed
with updated goals. Some people confuse it with Mac OS 8.5, which is
understandable, considering the strange naming schemes these companies
use. People confuse Win9x with WinNT all the time too. By confuse, I mean
in conversation, I am not refering to those who can't tell the difference
on the screen, I don't believe there are many of those people on this
list.
