"The combination of the open source Unix-based core of Mac OS X running on PowerBook G4 high-performance portables has attracted a large number of developers using open source scripting languages like Python," said Bud Tribble, Apple's vice president of Software Technology. "Python 2.3 provides greatly improved support for existing Mac OS X users, and with the upcoming release of Panther, Apple will provide Python 2.3 developers direct access to APIs for the PDF-based Quartz graphics engine and QuickTime image formats."The Mac OS buzz just keeps getting louder. Too bad the market share keeps getting smaller.
I suspect those market share numbers may be lagging. Here's the thing. Up until six months ago, I was almost the only one I knew who owned and actively used a Mac. Now suddenly TiBooks and iBooks are everywhere. Somethings going on.

I want to believe you guys, but read this:
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/6324033.htm
The important sentence reads
"Also, Apple said Wednesday that it sold fewer computers this spring than it did a year ago, though it brought in more money because more of those computers were high-end laptops."
