Y, no? Thats good. The more people using OS X the better

I appreciate greatly your support for Mac OS. Please continue to use Mac OS.
However I think I have to point out a couple of things.
This is form for FIRST, not Mac OS. You have to learn to live un-biased to your personal OS choice. As much as you love you mac, you have to live with people that do not use mac. From my experience, trying to give too much information often alienates you from other members, and creates a bigger conflict.
Basically what I am trying to say, is that as much as some people like to hear daily mac news, other people don’t. And since this is a form of FIRST and not Mac, I would like to request that you not post as much about Macintosh news.
There are several sites that have forms to debate Macintosh related news, like
www.macrumors.com
www.thinksecret.com
www.spymac.com
and several others
There you can view and debate Mac OS issues on a daily base.
Thank you for listening, and hope you realize that I fully support Mac OS, but sometime, especially on this form you have to respect others people feelings about an OS.
Unless somebody talks about the Macintosh in a negative way, I would suggest that you don’t include anything about Mac OS as frequent as you have been doing.
Anyways, I heard about this article, and I think that this is great for Mac OS. Usually when a product is free, people often tend to try it, and is a good way to spread the adoption of Mac OS X.

The only reason I posted this is beacuse this is a forum for a organzation centred around school and most people on here are Geeks (when a geek calls another person a geek, its a compliment. Just incase someone doesnt know)
You could say the same about a classified thread and many other things. This is in Chit-Chat, and we can post OSX things here. I am a member of SpyMac along with Mr. Ivey, but we can post almost anything here as long as it’s not crap.

Umm. I have always heard that Linux is free and all this other stuff. But from what I see most linux’s like Red Hat, Yellow Dog, and Mandrake all range from $50-$100 per box. Also most high end application like Maya, and others cost money also. The only software that I know is free is some open-source server stuff, and star office (which will soon be $50).

Yeah, if you want the book & cd’s… you have to pay for it.
You can always download the ISO’s from their website, and use the online documentation… thats how its free.
