"That's the nice thing about having an OS seperate
from the GUI..."
Hmmm, Doesn't that sound like the original Windows?
I find it funny that the OS that seperated the GUI
from the OS (windows) is moving to an all-in-one, and
the os that used to be all-in-one (the Mac) is now
moving to seperate the OS and the GUI (OSX, Yellow
box, Blue box..one box...two box...<appologies to
Seus>)
