Hi listers, Ever since Mac OS X was released, I was always excited about the Jaguar release. Indeed, when I first encountered Linux many years ago, part of me was hoping that somehow Apple would incorporate UNIX into Mac OS. I think they tried that with Rhapsody but it never eventuated.
Jaguar is indeed an excellent operating system in relation to stability and user friendliness, but I'm a bit put off at the sluggishness of it. True, my Pismo only has 192MB of RAM, but it appears that you need to be using a pretty fast Mac to get the speed cranking in Jaguar. Yes, I also realize that UNIX is a large OS and requires massive memory to run properly. I just can't get used to the fact that things were just so much faster in OS8/9. Drag and drop operations were lightning fast in OS9, when compared to Jaguar. Still, it's a good operating system and it can only get better as time progresses. Okay - next topic: Apple used to have a File Synchronization utility in OS8; which enabled users to sync folders & files in 2 locations (say, the hard drive and a Zip disk). Is there an OSX implementation of this? More importantly, is it free? I do miss this feature as I use Zip disks a lot. Many thanks, Mark. ________________________________________________________________________ "WARNING : "Privileged/Confidential information may be contained in this message.
