Subject: Re: Why do people like OS 9?
Between me and my clients, we have over four hundred Macs. Less than
a dozen running OS X (Panther and Tiger), the rest running OS 8.6 or
9.2.2.
We track system failures carefully - hardware failures, app crashes,
OS crashes.
So far this year:
132 OS X kernel panics.
I certainly wouldn't dispute your other comments, and I salute your
careful record keeping. But as someone who has worked closely with
(and on) Mac OS X, the above statistic for a dozen Mac suggests one
of the following possibilities:
1. You have defective hardware.
2. You are not competent to service OS X Macs.
If any Mac technician of my acquaintance said that out of a dozen
Macs, each was averaging 10 kp's inside of six months, it would be
clear to me that that tech needs replacing with someone who can
actually isolate what the problem is.
Your employer should do exactly that with you -- put you on the OS
8-9 machines (which you clearly know how to take care of) and find
someone competent in OS X to find out what's the REAL problem with
the other machines, since you clearly cannot and are letting your OS
X hostility prevent you from mastering it.
