Perhaps my perspective is different, or perhaps distorted by a space-time continuum. I spent more than 30 years in professional employment in IBM System/360, System/370, System/390 and z/System mainframes, both hardware (some of which I designed, for my then-employer, Amdahl Corp) and software (where I was a widely-acknowledged "subject matter expert" in many of that OSes' "components"). Heck, Lion and Server Lion, on Hacks, is child's-play compared to the learning curve with a mainframe OSes such as OS/360, OS/370, OS/390 and z/OS. At least eight years of continual study just to achieve a functional, "journeyman level" understanding of the "externals", much less the "internals". Throw in a decade or two more for the "internals". -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
