[P1] OS X

[Brett Haselton]

Why waste the time.
OSX is nothing more than pretty GUI.
I run everything for sys6 thru Panther and quite happy using the older
OS.
I have never been impressed with the GUI of OSX and OSXP

Well, this brings to mind something I'd thought of.    It would be nice 
if some developer for OS 9 did a shareware app that made OS 9 look more 
like OS X.     Sometimes I have to use my old PowerMacs and am briefly 
floored by the realization that CMD H doesn't work to 'Hide' apps, that 
I can't set GoMac to work on the left side of the screen as my Dock 
will, that sort of thing.     Something like Greg's Browser...

There wouldn't be much money in it, but I'm more interested in the 
elegance of the concept than the practicality.    Ironically, I've 
spent some time and effort making OS X look like OS 9 !    Seems 
there's a Golden Mean there somewhere.
