OK, sure. But will they also bring back the classic boot screen?
It was useful to differentiate it from OS 9, but how many years has it been? 15?
Iām currently wasting my time on a move from a mac with Snow Leopard to a new one with El Capitan. OMG. So many issues, and I havenāt even gotten everything moved over. Itāll be months before Iām back to being efficient.
Youāll find Snow Leopard was the high water mark, Iām afraid.
Itās true, so far. I am disappoint. But at least I donāt have to pay $50 a month, like with Adobe. Fuckers. I wish there were a viable alternative to creative cloud.
For me, itās CS6. I didnāt find enough in Creative Cloud worthwhile enough to āpermanently rentā.
Iāve also heard good things about Affinity but havenāt tried it yet.
And the angry āEep! Eep!ā noise when you did something wrong.
the wild eep!
And the monkey alert. Iāve religiously added back the monkey to my Macs since they deleted it from the OS somewhere in the mid 90s. Thereās something about a screaming monkey alert thatās perfect.
I thought it looked like this:
Wild Eep appeared!
Eep used Chimes of Death! Itās super effective!
Thank you for reminding me of the monkey! Iāve just added it back in, thanks to you.
I guess I found too many instances of āwonāt work with El Capitanā to chance the purchase. If it didnāt work, Iādāve had more fun burning hundred dollar bills.
The most fun so far was when Intuit sold me the PC version of Quickbooks, took my money within minutes, then wanted me to pay for the Mac version before the refund came, three days later. I havenāt found a good replacement for that, because I have some weird requirements with a multiple location client who sometimes pays from home office, and sometimes from each remote. I spoke with a really nice person from Freshbooks, who thought I was stuck with intuit. I really want to pirate the software after that experience.
My first mac said āIām trying to think, but nothing happensā which was appropriate for 17 year old me.
Back in the late 80s (yep, Iām that olde) I used to load SoundMaster on new employees computers. Iād assign wacky sounds to everyday interactions (Eject Disk = barf sound, Shut Down and Ahnold Grabassinator says āAhāll be bahck!ā) For folks who were new to computers they loved it! But if they knew the basics they made me take it off after a day or two (losers!)
Those were the days! (Goils was goils an men were men! Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again [Trump almost fits the bill, just way more crazy sauce])
So itāll be MacOS 11?
Seems logical now that Windows reached the 10 mark.
For years, my favorite bunch of sounds was the Daniel Pinkwater sound pack (download link) where my favorite author announces computer events in the best Yiddish voice ever. āVat? Vat is dis? Vat?ā
Great, now I can stop cringing when people say āOh es echsā instead of āOh es ten.ā
Where does the floppy disk go?
