The aforementioned mac is Unix on RISC!


I don’t mean to be a downer, but it is XNU (X is not Unix) on RISC.

“or as I like to call it, XNU/RISC”



Apologies, I should have said "XNU stands for X is Not UNIX." Someone should update the docs at Apple! [0]

That is true :) So Apple has become the last remaining Unix workstation vendor?


It doesn't take much to get the price up to low 5-figure USD (inflation UN-adjusted similar to lower end SUN workstation prices)...Max CPU and max RAM already bring you to $10k without a monitor.


and those color graded monitors are expensive!
