Umberto Eco on Macintosh vs. DOS

&gt; Macintosh is Catholic and DOS is Protestant.<p>So typical of Umberto Eco. A true genius of language. I feel lucky some of his more complex work was originally written in Italian - it&#x27;s easier for me (native Italian, but living in the US since 2012) to read certain things in the original language, rather than in English.<p>I bet you would need to be quite literate to fully appreciate his works - if you read the translated English version.
