An Apple software engineer named Quattlebaum (or something like that) did a Joy of X demo at our last Mac user group meeting. Of course, he didn't say anything bad about X, but from his smiles and mannerisms, I could tell he recognizes its current limitations for most users. (When he started working at Apple, his boss told him that he could say anything he wanted...on his last day at work.)Quattlebaum also talked about the transition from the Classic OS to X for developers. While it's a relatively easy transition, Apple knows that it won't happen overnight and that's why it will keep the dual OS deal on all Macs made for the foreseeable future.Apple is also under a bit of pressure to improve the interface in X to make it more user friendly, especially for those with little computer experience.Personally, I enjoyed playing with his Dual USB iBook and TiG4 more than learning about X.Glenn------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
