 Apple trying to gain foothold in Government?
A reliable source has informed us that Apple is running radio spots in Columbus, OH advertising a "Government version" of OS X that has higher security than normal OS X.

We have no reason not to believe this report, but if you hear any of these radio spots, or have more info, please .

As a side note, this version would HAVE to be more secure than the 10.1.5 or previous incarnations of OS X. Remembering a story I read a few months ago, a few Unix-heads went into an Apple Store and were able to create an Admin account within 5 minutes. I recreated their feat on my own machine very easily as well. I believe the process starts with holding down Apple-Option-R (not sure about that) and then doing some arcane unix-ey commands. Anyone have that link?

-- EDIT --

It's Command-S, for Single user mode.

 Deep Thoughts
The old-timers around here still shake their heads and chuckle about that city slicker who came through, trying to peddle "hair restorer." He took everyone's money in a poker game, so when he tried to sell the bottles of hair restorer, nobody had any money left to buy it!
