Hi Lev,
Dear All,
I think developers
in Apple must respond to this: _*lack of documentation*_.
I have to admit it one things I'd be interested in taking on myself.
Paid, of course. Hell, even well paid! :-) One of my long-time
"itches"--documentation... What can we say? Like a lot of people I
can't count of the number of hours I've lost because it wasn't
explained. No project is complete until the documentation is done IMO
and done well at that. Done well, it can be good for the development
process too, although that has to be fitted in before tearing off on
the job.
Although the windows system on the MAC is great, I switched to it
because I wanted to run Linux
applications and Office on the same platform without rebooting the
machine. I think Apple underestimates
this kind of people and (like Microsoft) focuses its efforts in
attracting customers running Aqua only.
I would think Apple pretty much has to focus on what it perceives to
be its main customer base, which will be home users and the like. I
think its easy for us long-time people to forget we're horribly
outnumbered :-) To some extent the powers-that-be will be relying on
our better skills to figure it all out while Apple's senior types
worry about the unsullied masses ;-)
Grant
