Actually, it's more like the carrot in front of the horse's nose. As
long as the horse is willing to keep chasing the carrot, he'll keep
pulling the wagon... And the faster he runs, the faster the carrot
moves. I can understand a beast not being able to figure that out for a
while. But "Humans" not being able to figure it out, even after decades?
Think of this: We're all ALPHA-TESTING OS-X! "**** Unexpectedly Quit.
Report problem to Apple?" That's an Alpha-Test issue. When a highlighted
item remains grey instead of turning blue when you return to the column
where it is active, that's a Beta-Test issue. You can't even report
that. Apple just wants to know about the Alpha-Test crashes... So... OS
10.0 isn't even ready to start Beta-Testing yet, and they're already
getting ready to release 10.7... OS 9 should never be released, it's too
much of a memory pig. Actually, we're nearly finished Beta-Testing OS
8.6, except that Apple stopped the process years ago.
Even top-notch software developers can't work the bugs out of their
programs before they have to release them, otherwise the next OS, or the
next chip will obsolete the program & the'll have to start all over
again... And we just keep chasing that carrot faster & faster, thinking
they're going to let us catch it someday.
Sorry in advance if this is a bring-down for some folks. It's just
time that our world, Apple fans included, do a little
sloooow-doooowwwwn, back-up & re-evaluate our values.
Cheers,
Drew
