Mac VS PC: ultimate face off!...

There are also far, far fewer Unix servers floating around in production environments. I think Windows owns something like 80% or more of the server market when it comes to business. Might be higher than that. I'd look it up on Wikipedia but..............

We ran a Unix server at 3Com/USR/Palm/MSL. We had to because HP built our in-circuit testers and they needed to be able to DL updates and they charged us for every PCB we tested.

Then we went with different methods and manually updated our testers because updates took forever to implement and we could not afford to have a dozen ICTs down while HP changed this and that. The machines still ran Unix.

Our modem testers were DOS based, running batch programs. Then we went with something else and the tech wizards had to learn something other than how to write batch files. Pneumatic testers for Palm Pilots was done with Winders.

Higher complexity skill sets correlate to scarcity.

You mean KISS methodology is still with us?

Anyone use PowerShell? A whole boat load of the aliases setup by default are ripped from *nix. Just thought that seemed slightly relative.

Not me. I need graphics, glyphs and buttons or it is a no go.
