If ya want a proper operating system try UNIX. None of this GUI shit.
Email can be spoofed very easily from a badly set up mail server so it may not have come from Pauls PC at all!
Errm, Apple has a massive user base world-wide, and their sales are increasing as they're entering the low-end market (seen the Mac mini? It's as fast as a ~2Ghz PC and starts at £399 - www.apple.com/macmini).
Oh, and Mac OS/X *is* Unix with a GUI skin, so stick that in yer pipe an' smoke it
Mac OS/X is
NOT UNIX.
Linux isn't UNIX either but a least it conforms to UNIX standards. e.g. UNIX configs are stored in /etc not a 'registry'
No gcc either
You can do everything on a UNIX box on the command line! Pretty GUI's do not a proper OS make.
