And with any luck, both MacPorts and FreeBSD-ports will learn from each

Remember: under the bonnet (ObUSA: hood) the Mac runs FreeBSD.

A family exchange, some years back:

    Ex: Iain, why did Dave buy a Mac?  I thought he was a Unix person!

    Me: That's right, Iain; I wouldn't've bought it otherwise.
