So that explains why I can click on a folder in list view under OS 9 and
some of the subfolders will be carroted open and others won't but in OS X
all those disks I burned open up with all subfolders closed, making them
impossible to navigate.
Thanks!
Are you sure this represents advanced evolution or simply Alzheimers?

Nostalgia?
I must disagree. The Finder is easier to use in Systems 7, 8 or 9 and they
abandoned that older ease of use, didn't they?
My System 8 scripts continue to function on System 8 like they always have,
while AS1.8.3 continues its stupid bugs. Do I have to wait until 2015
before nostalgia for 1995 comes back into fashion?
Then again, Steve thinks he can advertise iTools as part of the operating
system on the back of the box and then charge for it later. ?Como se hable
class action?
If I sue, will they list the number of files in a folder again? Will I be
able to summon forth all of an application's windows with a single click on
any window? No? Well, maybe you could be even more confusing by only
moving *part* of the menu forward. That way I could have a confusing
mixture of different application windows *and* menu options.
Will command-N ever make a folder again??????
Why should I do it the new way when I did it the new way once before and
some socially ignorant geek somewhere decided on his own to change it again
and erase my investment in learning the new way? The twits will probably
just change their minds on another whim and consternate the millions of
users who listened to them.
The under-the-hood stuff is great but the propellor heads remain completely
clueless about day-to-day file management issues and the social science
involved in how people use their computers.
I thought object oriented design was supposed to make computers *more*
flexible?
Hey - along with file types, original DOS didn't have any windows or mice
either. Neither did UNIX. Why don't we just dump those altogether too?
ARGH!
Mommy, why is there a 'mac' in EMACS?
