 SL> a) that doesn't make it defective

Serial ports are sure very very old. What? No, I didn't heard the word 
"innovation".

 SL> b) i've never had a problem with it. what are you doing thats causing
 SL> so much trouble?

I don't know, everybody complains about. A friend of mine is working 
with about 200 Mac (or less), G4 and iMac. He says that they don't work 
after a couple of times, guaranteed.

 SL> who? example?

3Com NICs, video conferencing, digital photography, ISDN modems, hard 
drives, HUBS, scanners, tape drives, wan't more?

 => mortals). What else could it run? Mices, keyboards, printers, joysticks
 => and friends? Very useless.
 SL> That's what it was designed for..

Not precisely. Such a "high speed device" lost all of it sense if it 
handles a lame keyboard.

 SL> that may be the case, but IME, Macos is less prone to commiting
 SL> suicide. I suspect it's the lack of a Registry that saves macos.

You mean a "centralized point for configuration"? Every OS has that, 
under Linux that would be the /etc directory. What any other OS doesn't 
have is one file for the whole shit.
