hari kari

Every day I use OS X at home, then get to go in to work and use WinNT 4.0. So I chose the suicide option...
I'd run a flavor of Unix, but I'd much rather commit hari kari with a wet noodle than use Windows on my home system ever again.

I always thought that it was a wasy of ritually committing suicide if you were disonorable in Mideval Japan, but then I found out that was called sepukku.what's that?G4 Cube 450/20 GB/704 MB/Radeon/

Yeah -- I learned it as hari kari, even though I know it should be seppuku. So I tend to use hari kari more often. The term, not the act.

The last Intel version of Rhapsody was Rhapsody Developer Release 2 (Rhapsody 5.1), The last version of Rhapsody Apple released was Mac OS X Server 1.2 (Rhapsody 5.6). It only runs apps made for Rhapsody (or ported from OPENSTEP/NEXTSTEP). You can learn more about it in these threads:
Rhapsody
and
Rhapsody on Virtual PC
The interface is a nice cross between Mac OS 8 and OPENSTEP (best parts of both). Actually I plan on moving to a WallStreet G3 PowerBook and run Mac OS X Server 1.2 on as an upgrade. So once I've completed that move, the ThinkPad gets moved back down to OPENSTEP 4.2 (which has almost three times as many apps as the Intel version of Rhapsody).

I wouldn't kill myself about hardware; it's the software that I would commit suicide about. I'd love Linux on my PC, but I will kill myself if I had Windows on it.

Wow!
I didn't realize Rhapsody was so beautiful in terms of UI!
I think I like the traditional Mac interface better than Aqua... Something about it just screams sophisticated!
Granted I love OS X, but seeing a screenshot of Rhapsody kinda makes me long for the traditional UI... Oh well.
