os x for mac is an unix with all the cool things you need. but then, what do people need computers to ? what if you just have and old 386 box in a village in india and you need to have computing power for basic needs ? don't you think there is a problem when the soft is getting more expensive than the box it is supposed to run (or can't run it anymore because there are too many pull-down menus wasting memory space) ?
