Basically it's a bandwagon thing. Someone comes up with a cute phrase full of alliteration like "fix the f**ckin finder" and everyone jumps onboard. The finder isn't perfect but…

It's just so much worse than the old OS 9 Finder. The browser model and the spatial mode is all mixed up, which damages both modes. It's buggy as hell, in particular wrt window si…

I have to remember to turn my Epson printer off before booting from the 8.5 CD. No way to turn AppleTalk off. Is this something I just have to accept and put up with? I ended up …
