And you know, after 15 years of staying away from the Mac (I was a *big
time* macos developer "back in the day"), I was just about to go back to
it in a serious way.

I *had* been doing a log to work on macosx and enjoying it.

but now, given this, I plan to spend my time working on 64 bit linux.

life is too short to waste my time working on locked up operating systems.
