It is now gone. OSX rocks harder than linux, the spotlight function is superb.
Sorry to feed the trolls, but I couldn't resist. Isn't OSX just
a commercial re-hash of BSD that Jobs "appropriated"? The performance
has been so poor with the PPC platform that Apple has been forced

I'm not making this up! It would have been nice to have a competing
platform remaining to keep everybody honest. Now that Apple is
going Intel, we will be forced to use whatever the Indians provide.
