Lighten up... I was having fun. Personally i think the finder,
explorer or any file manager is a dawg.
Not confrontational, curious, that's all...and that statement answers
the question.
Solaris and x86, I have it running on a dell laptop at present. Not
too bad. Solaris is very hot and cold. One version it is the
hottest thing since sliced bread (x86 Solaris 10) and the next
version is its last (x86 Solaris 2.6). Hardware support is in the
toilet for x86 Solaris, with Linux and OpenSolaris the hardware HCL
list is growing and some companies are actually releasing driver
APi's. SUN, Solaris 10 x86 and AMD have teamed up to go head to
head with Windows, dell, compaq, ibm and Redhat. They have a really
slick line of products. But next year??? Will Solaris 11 support
x86? Probably not if they don't sell any x86 server solutions.
Actually I think Sun is largely floundering; they seem (as a company)
to be throwing things up to see what sticks. They saw their bread and
butter (Sun Workstations) just get completely gobbled up by generic
PC hardware. Their servers are still better at te top end than any
x86 solution, but there's a limit to how many of those you can sell
in a year...
Personally I enjoy Mac OS X for its over all simplicity. Even the
BSD Unix running under the covers is easier to work with then that
LINUX or SystemV stuff. I fire up my mac and it just works...
Yep!
Now I am pulling my hair out trying to get the "Automator" to do my
bidding. I just gave up and setup CRON and a shell script. Not as
pretty but it got the job done.
Your's is not the first report like that I've heard. Automator is a
great idea, but not as powerful as many would have hoped. Now if it
went in and implemented all the AppleScript dictionaries on the disk,
instead of just some menu commands it would have been an insanely
powerful thing.
As it is, it's kind of limited.
