Tiger: R.I.P. Rainbow Spinning Wheel of Death?
I really hate that ?Rainbow Spinning Wheel of Death?; it seems to show up more and more with every update to Panther. My question to any current Tiger developer or pre-viewer, is Tiger going to have a better Finder? I?m seriously going to ditch OSX if this precedes, let?s here it, ?NO MORE LEGACY CRAP, NO MORE LEGACY CRAP?. If you?re UNIX, be UNIX, stop pretending to be a Jack-of-all-trades OSX!

Oh, please. You are threatening to stop using pirated software if Apple doesn't change it to please you? I wish you luck.

What kind of a frikken web browser bogs down a 1.33GHz 1.25GB G4 because of a big pull down menu with hundreds of items? And GIFS taking 100% processor? WTF is that all about???

I could not agree with you more! I love my Apples but using the internet is much slower than my windows laptop.

I got that one late last Friday. I was so tired I couldn't stop laughing, with the owners of the machine staring at me. Thanks, Bill.

That error is brilliant!!
The spinning beach ball doesn't mean the computer has crashed just that's it's doing something.

I get that a lot when I try to boot into the bios or start windoes in safe mode, rapid-fireing on one of the f-keys can f*** things up on an x86 pc with PS/2 KB.

That's what is should represent; however, it's basically an excuse to confiscate your cursor to hide the fact that the current application would be completely unresponsive if you tried to click on something.
It's called *feedback*. Trust me, you'd be much more upset if you clicked and nothing happened.
Also, the beachball changes back to a cursor when you place it over an application window (or Desktop) where that app *isn't* busy. ie, you can go to another app and continue working while the first one is busy.
Beachball just says "Look, I'm really really busy right now. Try another app for a moment while I get my crap together."

I've been trying to convince my grandmother of this for weeks, and can't get her to stop restarting the machine every time safari stalls. Old habits...
