OS X: The Hackers’ Choice

Paul Graham, author of 'Hackers & Painters,' and big geek, has come to the conclusion that the Mac is back. What prompts him to say this
(other than the great success of the iPod on the consumer level?). All the best hackers he knows, and he runs in geeky circles, are either thinking about, in the process of, or have already switched to Macs.

Just look at all the pictures you see from tech conferences, more and more glowing Apples (from the top of Powerbooks)
are popping up. What is going on? Well, geeks like Unix but they also like good user interfaces, well made applications, and hardware that is sexy and fun to use. Where can you find all of that in one neat package?
Apple.

This is more of a home coming for these hackers, as Woz and Jobs were big hackers during their day (Woz more than Jobs). I say, 'Welcome back, hackers. We missed you.'
