I remember the first time I sat down at a Fat Mac. I said, Cool, my parents will love this. Then I went back to my DOS machine where I stayed until the advent of System 6. Then came System 7 - now that classifies as a different OS! From 7 through 9 it was mostly iterative improvements. Obviously OS X was as big (if not bigger) break than that between System 6 and 7. But each version of OS X has been iterative improvements. For me the difference between a break and simple iterative improvement is the necessity of unlearning old behaviors. I don't see that any unlearning has been required since the release of 10.1 - not like there was between 9 and 10 or 6 and 7. david -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

OSX has very startling differences, effectively an entirely new OS in 10.1, 10.2, 10.3. Yes? How was this connected to your earlier data and reasoning? If you want to promote your own view on OS X as an example for others, wouldn't be good if you gave examples that was coherent and your conclusions based on the data you present. I welcome criticism of OS X, especially the interface, but constructed examples proving nothing are a bit unnecessary. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Dance through the OS Xs
I got my PowerBook G3 400 (Pismo) back in August 2000. It was running 9.0.2 then. I have since done the wonderful dance through the OS Xs: 10.0/10.1 (made me cry because I am not a techy at all, NOT ready for prime time), 10.2 Jaguar (at last a real stable, easy to use OS X!!!) and then 10.3 Panther (my love only grows - it runs even faster than Jaguar did!). I have the Tiger disk in the other room (Tiger-prerelease is installed onto our dual G4 450 Power Mac - we are small developers) and I may install it on the Pismo after I get back from Macworld Expo San Fran. OR (more likely) I will FINALLY upgrade my PowerBook. After 4 and a half years, I think I deserve a new computer that can run the newest OS with lightening speed (Halo, here I come...). I have a 8600 in the back room in case I want to run OS 8.1, 8.6 or 9.1 or my old but very good SCSI HP scanner. I have a PB 540 in the kitchen running 7.5.5 nicely as my recipe book. We all cohabitate quite nicely.

Re: Dance through the OS Xs
Oh, yes, Halo (whazzat?) reminds me of Haloscan, that ubiquitous blogger Comments box SW. Opening that box crashes Firefox (!) on the 10.3.7-armed WS Series II with 512 MB Ram ADSL. But no crashes on an ancient, if slightly wheezing, 9500 G3-upgraded 9.1-using 384 Ram-loaded running Wamcom (a browser not updated since 2002). Fight planned obsolescence! Resist beta-OSs!
