Okay, shall we start a new meme about "The Year of macOS in the Data Center (2010)"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Server#Discontinuation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Server#Discontinuatio... It appears that Apple ensures that enterprise/server use cases remain safe, legal, and rare. My estimates of zero rackmounts and zero servers was an exaggeration, but I'm curious if the comparative percentage rises beyond a single digit. I must confess: I yearn for the days when AppleTalk was an absolutely amazing peer-to-peer networking solution, and when it ran rings around anyone trying to cobble together an ad hoc 10Base2 LAN in their office.
