Hey folks,
Just a reminder as to why OS X is so much better than OS 9. The other day, I had to do some file transfers and installs that required I boot under OS 9.2.2 on my Pismo. After boot, I noticed how fast the overall performance was, and how quickly some apps run, i.e., internet radio in iTunes etc. I also had a flash back if you will, with the "neat" sound effects in OS 9. That was it though. I quickly missed the pre-emptive multitasking that has made OS X the OS that it is today. For those who don't know, OS 9 has co-optive multitasking. This means that under OS 9, if an app. doesn't want to comply to whatever the multitasking needs that the user demands, then it doesn't have to. With OS X, the app. is forced to comply. . .no questions asked. The simple tasks I take for granted under OS X now made me realize that Apple is on the right track, and I waited far too long to upgrade to X. Just wanted to give my two cents on this subject. . .no need to start a huge thread over it.
