Tilt, game over: I'm presently out of AAPL. Try another quarter.

You talk too much from the perspective of your wallet and not logic or legalities. Are you a hypocrite? My apologies to everyone else for repeating this again, but if you're going to challenge my points OrionX, then at least back up your assertions. Still waiting on your response to this: Orion X wrote: Total BS! Are you saying this with a grin or do you really believe your own hype? I've used every version of OSX and not every version and its features were faster on the same hardware. And let's not forget how many times a newer version screwed up what worked very well in a preceding version. To which I replied: Please give us some examples. I should have qualified my statement. It's likely some G3's have run slower with subsequent versions of OS X. I can assure you as an IT tech, every system with a G4 or better processor I've installed OS X on, from Jaguar through Tiger, has run faster on that Mac afterwards. That includes iMacs (3 different models), PowerBooks and Power Macs -- well over 100 Macs in total over the years -- without exception. However, I also made sure they always had adequate RAM to start with, no less than 512MB and usually at least 1GB. So, if you're going to complaining that a PowerBook G3 with 256MB RAM was slower than with Jaguar than it was with Panther or Tiger, then you're likely right. I would never install OS X on such a configuration, it's ludicrous to expect reasonable performance from it to begin with. Please give us some examples of what Apple messed up in OS X from version to version as well (I can think of a few minor ones myself). I'd like to you back your statement up with some facts from personal experience, links, speed tests, whatever. before I try to swallow your rather large red herring.
