Re: Mac hardware?

["Christian Edward Gruber" <christian.edward.gruber@gmx.net>]

Basically, I use OpenBSD for any unixy-Xwindowsy stuff, and MacOSX for any "cocoa" development, as GNUstep is not available and functioning for OpenBSD yet.  I'm a big Objective-C wonk from way back, but really like OpenBSD internals.  So I use both.

regards,
Christian.
