This is a supplementary document for Chapter 1 from my book Mac OS X
Internals: A Systems Approach (see Amazon.com page). A subset (about
30%) of this document appears in the book as the first chapter with the
title "Origins of Mac OS X".

And, predictably, Edwin will try to attribute his quote to me. Too bad he
is so ashamed of his own words.
