Interface seems alot snapier on older Mac's. Im on an iMac 333Mhz, and it's diffinetly snappier.

Ba hahahahahaha i laugh at your futile Operating Systems. You will all bow down to Linux! The operating system that can be shared with you friends and neighbours. The operating system that lets you share your ideas. The operating system that is well, better then OS-X for this.

So why do you involve in software made by an evil company that is trying to remove social life, like all software companys not sharing there source. There just making an attempt at macking a buck, whilst stunting innovation and growth.

So now apple is an "evil company trying to remove social life"...  Let me get this straight, if a company doesn't share every byte of their source code they are evil and trying to destroy everyone?

Installed 10.2.3 this morning after downloading it over night. So far I've noticed no real difference, except that I had to fix Internet Connect. It got set from "Internet" to "Automatic".

I still have a Rage 128 Pro so maybe it's helpful there, and I tried some Open GL apps like Quake 2 and Aleph One. It's not any better as far as I can tell.

They make you have to aggree to a non disclosure agreement, read all this in order and you will understand. Its hard for someone to change, but you bitch about Microsoft people not wanting change, and well i do to, but I have to say Apple and Microsoft are both just companys making software that is Anti-Socail

I use as much free (as in freedom) software within my ability to do so. I may not be perfect, but heck.

And if you dont like what i have to say you can fuck your self (no offence). And i remember posting in the other thread in here where my posts where deleted, i do not like that. I will have my opinion about things.

Anyway im not abuseing you, just informing... read this in some spare time:

They will change the way you think of software.

Have Fun!

I fully understand where your coming from, I agree with it in some aspects.  But I don't think there is anything wrong with apple for wanting to make a profit.  Considering apple makes most of their money on hardware If they went completely open source someone would make os x for x86 and there goes apples business.  I also dont think they should even be put in the same category with m$.  M$ has done nothing but decieve people and rob them blind with license fee after license fee [and get extremely wealthy off third rate software], apple on the other hand has innovated more then most companys ever will [anyone that says diffrent is a moron].  I have nothing against your opinion's, mine just differs slightly.  As for your posts being deleted I'm not a mod so I have no say in that.

[psyjax]

I haven't deleted anything...

As for your open source stuff, Apple and M$ are VERY diffrent companies. Apple started out with the philosophy let's make our products "insanely great", and they have. Apple mean's quality, and having been using my Linux/w98 PC for a few weeks now I see this more and more. Apple dosn't try to screw over the consumer, they have actively been against the DMCA and TCPA initiatives, and a gigantic portion of their operating system is open-source! Darwin is about 70% of the OS, Aqua is just a GUI! Say someone realeased a spiffy new desktop environment for linux and charged 50 bucks for it, say it was as functional and well designed as OSX, I bet youd buy it. If I were picky enugh I would just run darwin and have done with it, but I have no trouble paying for something that is worth the money, this is where M$ fails, OSX is worth the price.

Also, Apple makes all of the technical details of their hardware known to open-source driver developers for linux' etc. When has M$, or a PC maker, done similar?

You can have qualms with payware, but don't ever put Apple and M$ in the same league. Also, don't confuse open source with free as in beer, remember it's free as in speach. Apple is alot more open source than you think.
