That's fair. What installed base there is of MacOS is < X; I don't know what
the adoption rate will be; MRJ 2.2 runs on a variety of platforms that can't
run MacOS X; I like < X better than X (at least, so far)...

I guess part of me feels that X will be basically just-another-UNIX-system.
Not, as Jerry would say, that there's anything wrong with that! But until
there are 100,000 units sold, I'm reserving judgement.
