hah!

 

but then you'd have to deal with the icons in the tray jumping around like a jack russell fvcking terrier. that alone is enough to give an aneurism.

 

I almost feel bad... but at the same time I don't. It took me a friggin half hour to find the terminal in OS X just so I could SSH out to another Linux box.

Damn thing was designed for retards and parents I think. And whoever decided it would be a neato idea to have the icons all over the place in each folder should be shot. You have to run it through 3 levels of processing and sorting icons and rearranging things just to find that somehow one is on top of the other and yet another one decided to go hikeing and ended up having to scroll down and over about 10 pages to find the one lone icon that you actually need.

Bah, I don't know how anyone can tolerate that damned interface.

It's like I wasn't actually using the pc, I was just sharing the mac experiance with the computer and if the apple decided I could get some work done then so be it.

 

I <3 that little short h:

That's funny, because amongst the top level techs at my company, there's been a move away from linux and *NIXs to Mac OS X. They still have their old boxes about, but they really like the stability of the OS. Also, it behaves much better when working with out Unix servers than any version of Windows that's in the office.

And I don't mean to poke fun at you, but how hard is it to find a terminal app named "Terminal"? h:

 

well I didn't know os x called it terminal. So there was a great deal of pokeing around for things like command line, command prompt, tty, and such. Hell I didn't even know if it was an option she had installed or not.

Somehow the "Find" feature was obscured and hard to find also. I couldn't understand why Sherlok kept just showing me websites trying to sell me things. Very confusing. You'd think Sherlok would be able to help me find something, nope!

 

That's one thing I don't like. Some devices have "roaming responsibilities". Sherlock was their original super-search app that also searched web content as well. Somewhere during the Mac OS X evolution (either 10.3 or 10.4), it spun off to only a web content searcher, and the "Find" interface became like it used to be (which is getting it by "File"->"Find", or Cmd-F)

On that note, I also hate how the goddamned "Mail" interface changes so much between each revision, but I really like the new Activity Monitor, and Quicktime Pro 7 has some really, REALLY nice media tweaking features.

 

there's so much truth in it too.... and the boat anchor bit gets me every time.
