MacOS - haven't forgotten...
I used and bought a string of macs from the late 1980s until the "classic" Macbook 5300c. Nice screen (for the time) aside, it was hard to work out which was worse - the hardware or the OS. Was it more irritating when crashing (which it did all the time), or when working as intended? The latter I think. Why would an operating system make you wait for a file copy to complete, unless it was written by a fool?
I did wonder if the sad-mac icon would eventually end up burned on the screen. Finally, after the umpteenth wasted evening, I took off my rose-tinted spectacles for the first time and my days as an apple geek were over.
Thanks to ITunes, it's been very easy to resist the temptation to fall into Apple's path again, and it made me wonder whether ITunes was written by the people who used to develop MacOS before it was booted.
I think so.
