I'll certainly agree that Classic got better through the years. I remember the first time I sat down at a Fat Mac. I said, "Cool, my parents will love this." Then I went back to my DOS machine where I stayed until the advent of System 6. Then came System 7 -> now that classifies as a different OS! From 7 through 9 it was mostly iterative improvements. Obviously OS X was as big (if not bigger) break than that between System 6 and 7. But each version of OS X has been iterative improvements. For me the difference between a break and simple iterative improvement is the necessity of unlearning old behaviors. I don't see that any unlearning has been required since the release of 10.1 -> not like there was between 9 and 10 or 6 and 7. david -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
