I realize that the "'Chinese Orange'- and Gray- Walls" of
documentation published by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) are
a thing of the past. It would be nice if Apple could publish, at
least, documentation like the Release Notes, Administration Guide,
and Users Guide published by Berkeley Software Design (BSDi) and
to a lesser extent SuSE (SuSE/Novell).
I think Apple prefers the "Everything Just Works" way of doing
things. That ... tends to break down when they don't.
Now you've done it, Ben. "Everything Just Works" is great marketing
hype. The only product that I've used that this phrase might
describe is BSD/OS. Mac OS X is approaching the mark but hasn't
reached it yet.
(insert missing ':P')
Like I said, it works when it works, but it doesn't when it doesn't.
