It's cute, but since he posted it only a few months ago, he had to be
referring to Mac OS X. It is really SILLY to claim that a UNIX-based
nerdy-recovery mode is inferior to a DOS-based nerdy-recovery mode.

1. That video's been around for more than a few months - it was just
uploaded by that particular person a few months ago.
2. It's clearly referring to OS X... Classic Mac OS didn't have the
dock, blue apple, etc.
3. What are you talking about? Recovery mode? The only thing I can
think of is the reference to Norton Utilities for Mac, which is NOT a
"recovery mode"... he was just talking about using it to undelete a
file. Also, Norton Utilities(/Norton SystemWorks) has a GUI on both
OSes and is NOT DOS-based, so what makes it "nerdy"? Is the concept
of undeleting a file too advanced for most people?
