    I'm way out of my league debating technical specs, but I have a comment and a
    question.

    COMMENT: [I hope I have my facts straight on this one] A few months back the
    Army switched to Mac hardware and OS to thwart hackers (no command-line
    interface). Isn't that testimony to mission critical capability?

    QUESTION: Does the UNIXness of OS 10 expose a Mac server to attacks?
