Is there anyone out there?

[Buzz]

Just curious.

Can anyone convince my why I should spend the $$ on OSX yet and not wait for OS 11?

[Audone]

Nope, I'm not here! Just a figment of your overactive imagination!! :D As to OSX or 11.....I'm still reading oodles of things that have convinced me to stay with 9.1 until all the dust settles....I am not a programmer, not do I aspire to be a tester of anything technological! I will wait til others solve all the problems! :p

[Bill]

Thats easy. To follow the herd of sheep. :)

[Bill]

Will you quit posten the same time as me young Lady!

Well I guess Ladies first. :D

Let me just say that with any Operating system. Mac or Windows, you should never get the Newest version until they have had some time to get the bugs Ironed out. Just my opinion though. Let other people worry about spending the High prices and do the testing. Then after they are all done, then buy the product if it is better....

[smurfy]

Ahhh, Dodge, yer askin fer trouble stepping into these here dark woods!
Everyone knows that Mac OS releases never have any bugs to iron out!
Macs are the most reliable things there are on this earth. I've used one for years and my door has never swung shut by itself even in the strongest winds! :D :D

I'm going for OSX fairly soon, as soon as my current projects are finshed and I've got some time on my hands in case it all goes pear shaped :D

It should mean I can ditch the Linux partition that's wasting 4Gb of my disk at the moment... I'm told that the AOL Mac beta is out fairly soon so I should be able to connect to the net in native mode.

I kind of consider myself a power user, I can cope with the odd glitch now and then.

[Buzz]

Yeah, I'm in no hurry. I just have to laugh at all the people that are flocking to OSX right now. I suppose if all I did was surf the web or burn CDs on my Mac I might try it.

And, uh. . . I'll have to agree with Smurfy, Dodge. Rarely are there huge problems with a Mac OS. The problem with OSX is that it's basically a first generation OS. So of course there are problems.

I'm just left scratching my head trying to figure out why everyone's so jazzed and in a hurry to switch to an OS that currently supports next to nothing.

[Steven.Bentley]

The motivation for me is that it runs Apache without having to dual boot into Linux

[Buzz]

I can see the server benefits. And certainly if you're already running UNIX or Linux.

Just don't see the point if you're just doing normal workloads on the Mac.

I will admit my mouth waters at the prospect of OS 11 or OS 12, just not for OSX

[Dodge]

Smurfy, there is one thing that alot of people seem to be forgetting about Macs now days. THey are not Macs anymore, they WinMacs.....lol Since Bill Gates is in with Mac now, you can expect anything/everything to go wrong. We all know what the BG does to things.....

[Buzz]

My Mac is still a Mac. And it wil be until I put OSX on it. :D
