Terminology 101: Intuition, ease of learning 3306

Samuel Adams to the rescue... maybe.

OS X isn't any easier than Linux. What the younguns don't get is that it was the CLI that came first. It was an obvious necessity to communicate with a computer. All I see a GUI good for is for selecting relevant commands and options for applications. True intuitiveness means you don't need any book to aide you in the use of that application. And none of the OS X applications or just about any other o-s and their applications can do this. That is why we see so many 'How-to' books cluttering up the bookstores.

This particular iMac I'm using isn't too bad. Its only true good points is the desk space savings and lack of cable clutter. The keyboard keys are of high quality and the characters won't rub off as the print is embedded into the plastic along with the fact that the keyboard isn't pancake flat. What tics me off about Apple was the collusion of Apple and IBM to cripple the 970F processor so that it won't compete against their mainframe servers. I saw a few posts where people were trying to get the data thru-put to meet the IBM claims, and were only able to get halfway there. They were using IBMs 970 spec sheets, not Apples hidden and crippled one.

-- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?
