I'm curious.  What exactly do you consider "innovation".  You seem to
imply that other systems have innovated more.  What systems?  What
innovations?  My guess is that you mean Unix, but I can't for the life

taken from previous systems.  How is that any different than the Mac?

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
