     Well Dan,
      
     It seems you have a very hard time looking past the 'cool package'.
     What do you mean by 'rugged & reliable' anyway, do you wanna take it
     out to the ballpark? I'd like some arguments on this, so we can have a
     fruitful discussion, rather then some semi-juvenile prejudices.
      
     Do you really need to use every opportunity you can (or can't) get to
     rant & and rave off topic towards Steve Jobs and where he's steering
     Apple? Just because he axed something (clones) you had just advised to
     some of your customers. C'mon, everyone saw that one coming a wile
     away.
      
     Apart from that, thanks for all the useful comments.
     Regards,

     However, I kind of agree with your Novell jock about ASIP 6.x [and
OS-X],
but for another reason: The lack of robust hardware. The Mac evangelists
will be screaming and jumping up & down, but there is NO COMPARISON between
a toy plastic blue & white Mac and a ProLiant. Say what you want about x86,
but the commercial servers from IBM and Compaq ARE rugged and reliable...
Something that Apple's industrial design staff seems to have overlooked to
produce a "cool looking" package. [I say this as I'm looking at my IBM
IntelliStation Z Pro workstation and making a mental comparison to the guts
of a blue & white G3 Mac...]
      
     Yours truly,
Dan Schwartz
