And a Ferrari is sold as something that will turn you into a racing god
and attract members of the appropriate sex, even though it actually does
neither. Please don't confuse marketing with reality :-)

As far as I'm concerned a Mac is a good compromise between Unix, doing
A/V playback reliably, and having commercial desktop software available.

OS X does that too. It's just that in this rare case I know better than
the OS does. Exactly the same problem would arise if I used Linux or
FreeBSD or Solaris instead. It's the problem that the --bwlimit option
on rsync exists to solve.
