I'd say pretty much all Unix computers have sysadmins. At least on a Mac I don't have to hire sysadmins, they add so much to the price. > Once you have started the application, ease of use is the burden of the > software, not the OS it is running on.

The Mac OS is designed so that all apps running on it are very similar. Ever hear of the Godsend the Toolbox? It's a big part of what makes Mac so easy to use and similar across various apps, that and the Apple Human Interface Guidelines. -- Hotel California hotelca@cris.com
