Los Mac religiosos según Umberto Eco: "I am firmly of the opinion that Macintosh is catholic and the DOS is Protestant. Indeed, the Macisntosh is counter-reformist and has been influenced by the ratio studorium of the Jesuits. It is cheerful, freindly, conciliatory; it tells the faithful how they must proceed step by step to reach -if not the kingdom of heaven- the moment in which their document is printed. It is cateschistic: The essence of revelation is dealt with via simple formulae and sumptuos icons. Everyone has a right to salvation."
"DOS is Protestant. or even Calvinistic. It allows free interpretation of scripture, demands difficult personal decisions, imposes a subtle hermeneutics upon the user, and takes for granted the idea tha not all can achieve salvation. To make the system work you need to interpret the program yourself: Far away from the baroque community of revelers, the users is closed within loneliness of his own inner torment."
