Is it possible to access the BIOS of a Mac and if so how?
A Mac's "BIOS" is not really a BIOS. It is OpenFirmware, which many Mac users find to be better than BIOS. To access OpenFirmware, you must use two hands on the keyboard and the key combination CMD-OPT-O-F.

How do you enter bios MacBook?
The Mac does not have a BIOS to enter. The equivalent would be the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) to access this (which is traditionally referred to as Open Firmware hence the O and F key combination) press Command-Option-O-F keys during startup. If you did not know this then you may want to read up around the subject before starting to mess with your Mac.

Why hasn't the Macintosh operating system and computers been successful?
They have been very successful, but not nearly as successful as the PC. This is because Macs are more expensive than PCs, and Mac OS X (also expensive) is proprietary software that was designed to be incompatible with computers other than Macs. PCs were built using Intel or Intel-compatible processors and firmware (BIOS), while the original Macs were built around the PowerPC processor family. This makes Mac OS Classic and older versions of Mac OS X incompatible with a PC. Now, newer Macs are built around the Intel family of processors, but Mac OS X is still designed to be incompatible with normal PCs, because instead of using PC firmware (BIOS), they use a new firmware (EFI). Mac EFI does support BIOS emulation, allowing Windows and Linux to be run on a Mac, but BIOS does not offer EFI emulation. There is a method for running Mac OS X on regular PCs, but Apple has deemed it illegal, so it cannot be discussed here.
