Maybe his problem is he’s using OSX to develop THE, and he’s integrating it into the system, and his programming is so bad that it’s screwing things up. I don’t think I’ve had Panther crash (as in system crash) even once since installing it, and I got it the day it was released.Īnd when I’ve had apps crash, which aren’t too common, it has been some wierd crappy app that I downloaded, or else I’m doing something weird like trying to import a corrupt. I’ve been running it for a couple years with only rare crashes. I agree with what people have said about OSX being really stable. That works to reduce crashes of applications in Classic mode. An Apple Tech suggested that one should always start up Classic before doubling clicking an OS 9 application or file. My experience with users having problems with Panther or Jaguar is usually related to hardware or running some of the older programs in Classic mode. I have an ethernet laser printer and a USB color printer as well as a 200 GB firewire external drive, a SCSI scanner, an ADVC1000 analog to digital converter (firewire), and a 35 mm slide scanner (SCSI). Well, I run MS Office, InDesign, Photoshop, iLife (including burning DVDs), Safari, Mail, dual processor SETI program (continuously) and numerous other applications and even some games. Some might say that I do not give my OS enough of a workout. Occasionally some applications will lock up but one can simply “kill” them. Since then I have undergone several upgrades to OS X 10.3 and my computer does not crash or lock up. Finally I took the advice of an Apple Tech Support person and got the processor replaced.
#JEF RASKIN MAC#
When I received my first Mac with OS X it would crash 3 or 4 times daily (kernel panics, etc.). In fact, if the name of the project had changed after Steve took over in January 1981, and it almost did (see Bicycle) , there wouldn’t be much reason to correlate it with his ideas at all. He became increasingly alienated from the team, eventually leaving entirely in the summer of 1981, when we were still just getting started, and the final product utilitized very few of the ideas in the Book of Macintosh. He was dead set against the mouse as well, preferring dedicated meta-keys called “leap keys” to do the pointing. Jef preferred the 6809, a cheaper but weaker processor which only had 16 bits of address space and would have been obsolete in just a year or two, since it couldn’t address more than 64Kbytes. “Jef did not want to incorporate what became the two most definitive aspects of Macintosh technology – the Motorola 68000 microprocessor and the mouse pointing device. Jef’s ego once again tries to rewrite Apple history: I never had Linux lock up completely because of an application, I was always able to still use my computer and I could just go and do xkill on the app, but I have had several complete lockups while running panther and no app should ever bring down the entire system like that.Īs far as hardware, well it’s ALL apple hardware so if it’s crashing because of that, I can indeed blame apple for it can’t I? I will take issue though when OS X locks completely as a result of an application. No one really knows though what exactly they did that is causing the problems and newer versions (the betas of the upcoming release) seem to work but do have crashing problems that might be related to it being beta software. Well right, it’s not Apple’s fault when an app crashes unless it crashes because they changed stuff around in JAVA! In Jaguar there were no stability problems with Jedit and Eclipse for me but when Panther came out, JEdit wouldn’t work because of the changes they mande to JAVA in OS X. And this is on a 1 gigahertz iMac with 768 RAM. I did this for about 30 minutes without a single problem.
#JEF RASKIN MOVIE#
Just the other night I had iMovie, iDVD, iTunes, and Safari open and I was doing three major things at once: I was encoding a movie and burning it onto a DVD, I was listing to my iTunes library, and I was surfing with Safari. I don’t know what is going with this guy’s system. And this is on two machines – a 700 megahertz ibook and a 1 gigahertz iMac. I have had some individual apps crash a couple of times, but not more than 5 in the whole year I’ve been a Mac user. I must say in my 1+ year of using Jaguar then Panther, I have never had the entire system crash on me. This guy must have a seriously tweaked system or one with a bunch of hacks installed. The whole system crashes, individual programs crash pretty often still, but the interface is so complex, there’s so many parts to it that I have to go to other people and ask them how do you do this. “The Panther keeps on biting me, crashes once or twice a week.
