3. you said you thought Macs were running a linux OS these days. I
believe it is either Linux or BSD related, but has some Apple specific
tweaks in it. You can google this question and get more answers about
the history/entomology of OSX.

"Macs" today run a mutant form of BSD with a mutant Mach microkernel. It
is best thought of as NeXTstep, as it isn't an old-style Mac, or Linux, or
really quite BSD.
