[net.micro.mac] What a nerd!

I thought mac fans would like this story.

	I have a friend who has a Macintosh and spends all the time on
	it.  No surprise when last night, when somebody tried to wake him
	up at a very early hour, he sat up on his bed (not awake!), and
	said: "Oh, this is so beautiful."  That somebody asked: "What is
	beautiful?"  - "The computer," he said, and pointed to his Macintosh.
	Then my friend proceeded to describe the virtues of the
	operating system, and the data structures -- all in his sleep.

By the way, that friend is Mark Galassi.
Two days ago he was timed on the phone to his brother: 47 minutes of 
pure computer talk.

Well thanks a lot Irena for letting all the world know that I am
a weirdo! In any case, I would like to specify that the operating
system and data structures I was praising were not the Mac ones,
which I don't know in enough depth, but UNIX ones, with which I try
to get more familiar all the time. Cheers,

What operating system? On a Mac? You've got to be kidding.
