This may be a bit off topic, other than that the hanging modem problem may be a PowerBook specific problem.

But it's not strange. I don't think that the current Apple programmers came up with the Macintosh ideals and what it stood for and how good it had to be. They didn't come up with User Interface Guidelines that gave some level of consistency to how various programs worked either. We long-time dedicated Macintosh users have a stronger feeling for what that is and how important it once was.

It's kind of like other issues today. Do we blindly follow our administration and assume that they are in line with our values, or do we actually research things and ask skeptically whether the high values that make us better are being adhered to.
