Someone mail me off-list to inquire as to why I was griping about
progress bars on Cocoa-Dev.

I expect my problem stems from the fact that few developers subscribe
to user experience fora; commonly graphic artists - art school
graduates do that.

Even so, I just purchase a Windows notebook computer from Acer.  I run
Linux Mint under VirtualBox, once I verify that it works OK when I
boot natively I will remove Windows.

My point is that I'd like to see my colleagues among the Apple
Developer Community, as well as my dear old friends who actually work
for Apple, prosper, rather than have their products abandoned by
people like me.

I've been an Apple Developer since 1986, I SQAed MacTCP 1.0.1 and 1.1
then write a new test tool and test plan for 1.2.  I was a Senior
Engineer in Apple's Traditional OS Integration Team in 1995 and 1996,
where I isolated the very-most serious bugs, I also optimized some of
the System 7.5.2 and 7.5.3 Resource Manager code.

 That the bug reports I file don't get fixed is what led me to abandon
the Apple platform for Linux.

I invite you to continue our friendly debate.
