Oxford says Apple's OS X is a Linux distro 3230

Snit

What could be harder is more like it.

Very seldom. Word processors are used as intended. Programmers don't use Word processors in the sense that you think. Special IDE type environments like XCode for OS X is what a programmer can use, or just use vi to write the code. Then you use vi to write the make file for a project, (which is what XCode does for you).

The sarcasm was wasted.

Got one. What I find irritating the most is that the IBM-Apple design on the G5 to cripple the G5 enough so that it can't compete with IBMs G5 server line. No wonder those fellows that were posting a while back trying to attain a certain through put but couldn't get there. The IBM docs on the real 970F processor says one thing, but doesn't apply to what Apple is selling. It will be the last time that I will trust Apple on any of their claims.

Ok, then alter your future arguments accordingly so that it won't appear that way.

No, when you start to type in an address the completion is in blue but incorrect. Nothing shows there but blue text in an oval field... no drop down menu. This is the sort of Zork type adventure schemes I want to avoid.

Other than inserting the appropriate DVD into the slot, you still have to know about what finder will do, what actions necessary to take and what the terminology on the new screen really means. These items are still hidden from view even then. The items like "make bootable image" for instance is hidden until you click on an obscur button that doesn't give any indication of what it is really supposed to do. I find too many buttons in OS X as out of context or poorly labeled.

He posted it several months ago about how OS X was a step backward in what one could do compared to OS 9.
