my mac is intel core duo. i cant comment though on the old ones, as i haven't been a mac user that long. it boots faster than my linux box i think because of it doesn't use bios (efi - extensible firmware interface), which could be a wrong factor all together and os x doesn't load everything at once. networking only comes alive for example after logging in.
i used to be able to boot an amd64 box really quick, about 30 seconds--- that meant loading the exact needed kernel drivers, and services only.
tell me about it.

Well at this level its ok. But the learning curve is still steep and
every now and then you get confused right? You have to pause and think
. I think people want to go fasterthan theygo now. Thats a major
point. The ui needs to change.

I think I need something easier than the commandline and less complex
than the wimp gui. The old mac seems to get that right. The answer is
there somewhere.

I use vi and bash because i dont have a choice. Its fast and im used
to it. But i hate to open multiple windows for each file i edit. Maybe
there is a way to access multiple file effortlessly without switching
windows? Opendoc?

I use ion by the way and the application combination i have is pretty
much complete. its i like it but thats only about 25% of the way.
Funny how those macs bootup much quicker than our gigahertz
processors. They used what... 8mhz processors?

It also works fine in busybox form. except when you have both wireless
and wired interfaces it will get confused.
IPV6 actually have zeroconf capabilities.
tell me about it.
