So, attached is a sample of the many funny emails I still get about that 
TC0 paper I wrote a while back. I dunno why people get upset if their OS 
is called a toy. I like to use toys.

On the other hand, Mac OS X has a generally poor level of security, from 
argv[0] bugs, to kernel bugs, and everything in between. That's fine, 
cause they don't have too many remote services, but the remote services 
they do have have bugs. So from a security standpoint, it's a game as 
well. Perhaps Yahtzee. (http://www.rekenwonder.com/yahtzee/yahtzee.htm)

Every time I get one of these emails, I want to release one of the 
kernel bugs Sinan Eren found during an afternoon with his wife's laptop. 
But I never do. It's just too much work.

On the other hand, we're announcing a new product release today, so, 
happy halloween. :>
