Yea, verily, grant our prayers this hour, O Lord, as we gird our loins with
a host of tools with which to facing the Redmond-spawned hordes of Hell ...
for, truly, it is a woesome task to walk a path different than the Windozed
Path of the Lowest Common Denominator that is predicated on the power of
human stupidity. Walk with us as we take that NeXTStep ...
And, O Lord, protect us from the arcana of the Command Line Alchemysts who
can truly shape mysterious forces to do their bidding, but who eschew the
GUIs that they themselves spawned. Leave them to dabble in their fractured
Dark Arts, and their multiple, platform-dependent, mutated offspring, while
we followers of the Unified Cult of Cupertino rejoice in the resurrection
of The Insanely Great and the gathering horde of EvangeListas. For ours is
the PowerPC and the Glory of an OS for real people, forever and ever (Wall
Street notwithstanding) .... Amen.
