Okay. All journeys begin with one step that ends at a mile. So, how many
/more/ things need the author discover (or realise do not exist) in Mac OS
X? He has a long list and you addressed just one rant (no complaints, with
all due respect).
I have used OS X before. Very sexy. A good show, provided that some non-Mac
folks are walking around and leaning over to view your screen. It is as
useful as XGL and all the KDE eye candy, which I long ago disabled.
What it boils down to is this: does it serve your work desires (GTD) or just
motivates you to have a look around, attempting to find some wandering eyes
in the adjacent room? If someone wants to see some nice HCI and GUI's, s/he
can shove a Minority Report video into the VCR (or whatever).
Best wishes,
Roy
