[filmscanners] Re: OT: RE: Get a Mac... or a VAX?



It's true of any operating system designed for specific hardware, or vice
versa.  Just about all mainframe operating systems are in this category, and
they are mated to the hardware even better than operating systems like the
Mac or VMS or Windows.

This was also the claim of the VAX/VMS marketing group and development team
(of which I was a part, many years ago when minis were king and the Xerox
Star was the closest thing we had to todays Mac or Windows machine).

It's somewhat true.  There are many things inherent in the Mac BIOS/OS that
facilitate graphics more so than in a PC.  It's only recently with Visual
bla bla, that you have easier access to using some of these things.

If you've never done any Mac development vs PC development, you wouldn't
know, and if you have, you would.
