I'm really looking forward to the next MAJOR release of MacOS. OS XI or 
11 or whatever they decide to call it. I have this partially-baked 
theory that at that time Apple will really fix MacOS at that time.

At some point Apple will change the o/s to the extent that it either 
completely makes or breaks it for me - I want them to
ditch a bunch of legacy stuff that they kept around in order that OS9 
users wouldn't feel too alienated. I REALLY want them to introduce a 
NextStep- / BeOS-alike launcher cum application menu (top right in 
<http://beos.pixay.com/pics/beos_01.png>) and to start underlining 
shortcut titles when I press ALT, so I know which button to press next 
to activate  the shortcut.

Stroller.
