"Grandma doesn't need to know she's using it"

Exactly! She can't use it! It's good for nothing but being a web server, and so far everyone buys a desktop OS because they want more!

You and JC still haven't answered the questions I asked in Message 13897324. Are you afraid to try?

"Solaris is a professional O/S & Windows is for
kids to screw around with after school."

Everyone in the world wants to program, play games, type papers, draw, play music, make videos, put files on disks, and other realitic things. Why is Grandma still using her Mac if Solaris meets her needs?

("Kids screwing around" - that's the attitude that keeps Sun off of everyone's computer)
