Not that you understand. I can accept that.

Or we can stick to the topic of it working with such a file system in
general!

I *clearly* know more than Peter... who thought that OS X did not support
case sensitive file systems and even claimed it was impossible to use UNIX
before OS X was released.

Peter shows he thought UNIX did not exist before Apple released OS X!

It's not Unix-like now.  It's Unix-unalike.  The trademark is all they

If you want to call broken backups and software installations "support", sure.

Unix users would expect it to work properly.  It does not.  Therefore, FAIL.

Basically, anything not flyer-related is a massive failure for OS X.

OS X is a certified UNIX. Even if Apple opts to not certify the next version
it will still be UNIX-like. As far as trucks, YOU are the one who brought up
Mack: <http://www.macktrucks.com>.

As far as the people who use UNIX, the vast majority are using OS X!

Look, I usually only have about seven or eight of them running at any given
time, so cut me some slack.

And 7 or 8 of them somehow doesn't make you a bit geeky?  :)

It is a shame more Linux users do not push to have desktop Linux improve in
productivity, efficiency, and error-reduction. Imagine if they did how great
it would be and how it would become true competition to MS and Apple. I
advocate for that because I am a true Linux advocate.

Apple does not compete in OS market at all. They compete in hardware
market and that is completely different category. If they let OSX in
the wild it would take over OS desktop market in no time...

I don't think so. But they would definitely cut into the Windows' 
monopoly. Unfortunately for iCultists it's never going to happen because 
Apple likes to gouge their suckers ... err ... customers for huge their 
profit margins.

I'm beginning to think the members of the Lemon Sucking Bitter Old Biddy
