I don't know what you hope to achieve with your constant complaining about OSX. Apple isn't going to change the system back to an OS9 type system anymore, regardless of how much you complain about it. Think about that. Now what do you do when other things in your life don't go the way you want and you can't change them? You either accept those changes and learn to live with them, or you leave the platform and go to Linux, using GNOME or KDE, or to Windows, or you stay with OS9 as long as you can.

Those are your choices. If you read my reply to Paul Lehrmann's open letter, you'll see that much of his complaint is based on a lack of knowledge and an unwillingness to find solutions on his own. In other words, an inability to adapt. This is very similar to your complaint. You find it difficult to adapt as well.

If you can adapt you'll be happier in the long run, I think. Almost all of your complaints, such as OSX being less usable etc, will not really change anything, but, if you really must, carry on complaining. I personally will carry on with OSX, and, you'll find, Apple's marketshare has actually grown in the past year, so it means that lots of people are happy with OSX.

You can make dire threats about Apple's impending doom and insults to others who don't agree with you till you're blue in the face, but you're a member of a shrinking minority. Your post about the Layers magazine shows that you have no idea about what you are talking. This is 2005, not 1987. Times and situations have changed.
