trying not to repeat the switch from OS 9 to OS X
But see, that switch was mostly painless for users. This reaps them
mucho good will from many people (such as me). In fact, there were 3
enormous changes over the years:
1. 68xxx to PowerPC
2. OS<Arabic numeral> to OS<Roman numeral>
3. PowerPC to Intel
ALL of these were achieved with hardly a bump to non-tech users.
Amazing! Compare and contrast this with non-tech Windows users who start
out screwed and get screwed over again every time ANYTHING happens.
For this I had boundless respect for Apple. And just before Enormous
Change 3, I bought my iMac. EC3 did not really bump me. And I was thrown
under the bus with such alacrity and finality that it made my head spin. :P
But they still haven't squandered all my good will.
