In an alternate universe perhaps. Not in this one. GNU-Linux and Mac
etc are mere pimples on Bill Gates' ass. Fortunately, the Microsoft
honchos are so princess-and-the-pea that they lose sleep at night over
GNU-Linux despite the miniscule installed user base. The philosophy of
OSS seems to completely aggravate Steve Ballmer, in particular.

Seems to be the best OSS option going for the Mac. However, it seems
to have problems with respect to MySQL 5, apparently, and a new beta
version is available.

There is also yourSQL for Mac OS X, which I've not tried and can't
vouch for one way or another:

While I agree with the sentiment, insulting the guy isn't going to
help. Use a newsreader that can fix the problem, like Gnus with the
deuglify command, if top posters offend you so.
