Oh please, Macs haven't been faster than x86 boxes since the days when the 604 was king.
I like Macs, and I like Mac OS X, but let's face it, up front, a Mac is far more expensive than an x86 box. The PowerMac's are the ones that are most comparable to "normal" x86's, since the iMac's lack any expansion capability, and PowerMacs start at ~1.700$, and thats without a monitor, throw in a decent monitor and you're looking at 2.000$ at the very least, and thats with a pretty mediocre configuration for the Mac.
TCO is another matter entirely, and it doesn't sound the least bit impossible to me that Mac's are cheaper when you factor in support and such.//Sunner
Stick around the most boring and probabaly depressing place in the universe.
Or, party all night long, every night, drinking loads and loads of mead, and since it's supposed to last, I assume one wouldn't get stuff like hangovers, bad livers, etc.

The reasons why openbsd.org doesn't run on an OpenBSD box are documented in the FAQ, but I guess that's just too much reading for some people.
Go troll somewhere else.

Sounds easy enough.

The latter sounds yummy, horns or not.
