Greetings, I can't believe I am getting sucked into this. But System 7 was code named Big Bang. I know this because I referred to it as the big bust, since I thought 6.07 was much better and 7 broke many font and text drawing routines in Mac apps and the foundations for true type fonts were laid down.
Then as I recall things went music based, I definitely recall Allegro, Harmony and Sonata in the 8.x roadmap. And Rhapsody, the OS that never came. Now, speaking of countless OS releases, I'm curious if people have seen an increase crash rate under 10.5.x as x has been getting higher. VoiceOver seems to be restarting several times a day now, and I "feel" this is getting worse--or rather this seems like a more frequent thing lately. Anyone else feel this way? --Scott . .
