Anybody see the interview with University of New Hampshire researcher Will Gilbert? He was talking about how he moves data back and forth using his iPod. When asked what has been the greatest technology advancment for him he said OS X! It allows him to use all his Unix apps right along side things like Microsoft Office.

Great plug for OS X - the best I have seen so far on TV.
Yes, I know I could buy a PC, but why?

No. It was the headline news show - not CNN. I had just got home from and turned on the boob-tube and saw the last second of their ad - something like "you know your iPod can play song but did you know it could carry the human genome...". When headline news came back, they had that guy talking about the greatest advance being the development of OS X. Amazing. I am shocked that Apple is not mentioning it!
