Ah, FUD - good tactics (ROTFLOL).

I hear that's also one of the current answers within Apple - "Oh, you run
some hacks? That's why the OS isn't fast..." "Oh, you run some hacks, that's
why [insert standard bug behavior here]".

Yes, I run Duality, Tinkertool settings, and WindowShadeX - I'd be
interested to know how those interfere with disk I/O by Entourage...

I already have reconsidered - the moment you announced your utility to
convert v.X back to Entourage 2001, that's all I'm waiting for right now to
switch back. While I certainly like certain things (Terminal, being able to
prototype PHP and MySQL web stuff on the laptop), the rest of the mess that
constitutes OS X is simply too much of a pain as it stands in the way of
actually doing real more more than any other OS I ever used.

Seriously, if the Mac OS had been like OS X when I made the switch back in
1985, I'd be using a PC now and loving every minute of Windows... and that's
a horrible testimony. In my opinion, OS X has masterfully become just like
Windows - requiring full regular reinstalls, and all that good stuff.

Yeah, I have it now. Good thing for the system creating a backup. Thanks
MacBU folks.
