    As Steve Jobs came back, the Apple Inc. began a renaissance in 1997. With the release of the iMac on August 15, 1998, Apple was able to put to rest some its past failures.

    Some Beneficial Features of the Unix Operating System

    There are many benefits of the UNIX operating system when viewed independently or in comparison with other operating systems.
