Comparing Mac and UNIX would be totally frivolous.  They are two different
beasts for different uses.  UNIX is capable of many many things that MacOS
will never do.  Same goes for Mac capabilites over UNIX.  Although, the
capabilites are getting closer, they will probably always be two seperately
usable systems. 

One thing fer sure... UNIX is NOT horrible!
