A computer made by AppleCorporation and well known for its ease of use. They say this is a computer everyone is passionate about - either haters or lovers.
-Haters dislike it for its [Proprietary] [

backronym|http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/B/backronym.html]
for MACINTOSH being coined as "
Machine Always Crashes, If Not, The Operating System Hangs."

-A lot of old issues were largely improved recently by [Apple] discarding the old [MacOS] code base and using a variant of [FreeBSD] called [Darwin] as the basis for [MacOSX]. So while you may be going spare with a one button mouse you can open a terminal and use the shell just like under [Unix]. All your old favourite commands are there, [cat|cat(1)], [ls|ls(1)], cd, [tail|tail(1)], [sed|sed(1)], [perl|perl(1)], etc - it's like a $HOME away from $HOME.
