My pointless observations:

-> OSX is by iself on a partition.
-> OSX would not run on a Silverlining-type drive or partition; Apple's
Drive Setup seems to be required.
-> OSX's stability is noteworthy: apparently you can't kill it with an axe
(or anything else).
-> So far, it's a bit like a lovely sunset: gorgeous but of limited
immediate use. All the day-to-day meat runs in OS9 (classic). Which is cool
in its own way.
-> iTunes' graphic screen saver thingy makes a fella think...
-> I would like to get at the Keyspan serial ports sometime soon (says he
with a strident cage rattle).

Just because you're paranoid, don't start thinking they're not really out to
get you.
