I'll admit that it's an odd comaprison.  In the greater OS world, wher you
have "Windows, Linux, Unix, BSD, and Other", I think that OpenStep and
BeOS fall under "other".  They're very different from each other, but the
feel is similar - if you know what I mean....

Or not.  It's tough to explain.  How about "comfortably kooky".  :)
