Work faster? Well my only problem with this MacOS X thing right now is that the responsivness of the terminal is so slow. Hitting ^F in vim in Terminal.app or xterm is slow, scrolling up and down with j,k /jumps/ not floats. It feels like how the DOS commandline in Windows95 felt while playing MP3 in the background on a 200Mhz Pentium PRO with 32MB ram. And this is a iMac 800Mhz, 768MB RAM, GeForce 4MX. And I really do miss multiple workspaces. The dock isn't really great when you have LOTS of windows. I miss the window-shading thing when you double click in GNOME, MacOS 9 etc, I know I can pay for it in shareware but never /ever/ will I pay for shareware. Shareware sucks, and there is too much of it in the Mac world. That is why we need to re-create every useful shareware application as free software and kill those egomaniac shareware authors. Can't wait for MacOS X 10.3 or even better 10.4. -- Ask Solem Hoel [+4722808579 | +4797962181] ABC Startsiden AS [ http://www.startsiden.no]
