Mac OS X turns three
Technology 03/25/2004 |Ars Technica has a nice rundown of the first three years of Mac OS X. I’ve been an OS X user for all three (plus the Public Beta period beforehand) — how time flies when you’re having fun!
Has it been three years already? A quick glance at the calendar tells us that the date is March 24, 2004, three years to the day after Mac OS X 10.0 began shipping. Join Mac.Ars in a trip down memory lane as we look at three years of Unix-y/NeXT-y/pinstripe-y goodness on the Macintosh.

I agree with Ars Technica - the Finder still needs significant work. I’m constantly seeing it quit and relaunch - most usually when I’ve been doing iDisk synching and Photoshop concurrently. Probably stressing the VM seriously but why Finder crashes? Also, as useful as Labels are in Panther, it’s still not as useful as it was in System 9.x and earlier. Plus, why can’t I sort in Column view? Lots of little things still need work. The drivers are getting better but I still don’t have all the Epson functionality I had pre OSX - dual fault there. Also, why does a server link from me get lost just because my machine is asleep? (Well, that was true under 9 and earlier as well). But, hey, it’s only a baby, three years old.
