Unix is still a place where people who are interested in the
physics of clockspeed work. "The rest of us" as defined by
Apple for the years 1984-2001 are no longer a going concern.
The "market" speaks BASIC, if not C.
For example, If you having pressing commitments, e.g., you're
concerned that the USA is now a global suzerain with a shoot
first and ask questions later attitude (and live in a gung-ho
satellite state, like Australia) but don't know how to operate
a UNIX BSD OS. Then you should ask a younger relative
(daughter, niece, son, nephew) to pass on a Win98 or Mac
System 6-7 machine. This was the time when OS developers
expected the "user" to be productive, useful people who
weren't interested in computers. I'd like system 6 interface
to the new UNIX kernel but I don't think I'll be getting it
(journalists tell me no-one reads this far into a piece, I can
say what I like and no-one will read it ;-)
Every employee of Apple who formerly worked at NeXT (the
so-called NeXT bullies) should read your post. It's really
something to consider if they'd be interested in increasing
Apple's market share (and hence increasing their own salaries).
Paul B:
I'd also be interested if anyone knows why Project Builder,
rather than TextEdit, is considered by OS X to be the default
application for TEXT. (Yes, I know that TextEdit's native
habitat is RTF, but it seems equally at home with TEXT.)
All you have to do is a "Show Info" on a text file and switch
the default to what ever you like in the "Open with Application"
panel.
