The Mac computer turns 25 tomorrow.....

Are today's Macs related to the Mac Daddy?

...my response would be that I wish the Mac's vendor would focus once  
again on producing great computers and quality operating systems [1]   
than seeming to focus primarily on nifty consumer apps and devices.  
Other than that, until fairly recently I've been rather happy with my  
Mac and pretty content with the quality of stuff coming out of  
Cupertino.

Happy 25th anyway!   --rf


[1] The OSX 10.5.6 upgrade fiasco, coupled with a new problem I've  
noticed regarding Mail 3.0 creating zombie processes after *each*  
message sent -- allegedly the result of 10.5.6 -- thus requiring me to  
shut down Mail several times during the day to avoid my CPU grinding  
to a halt.  (the '(AddressBookSync)' issue)  First OSX problem I've  
had in a LONG time.  I don't care how many Jesusphone apps you have  
downloaded from the Apple Store -- fix your effing operating systems  
and stop hyping the gadgets.
