I was a Mac user in very difficult times, between the transition from Motorola microprocessors to Intel CPUs. I experienced the transition from traditional MacOS to the innovative MacOS X and I had a lot of fun as beta-tester for all the new technologies that the Unix world was bringing into the machines of the bitten apple.
The moments of panic that I experienced were certainly not comparable to those I had with the first Windows or with the DOS, but there were. Yes, there were a lot.
Well… would you like to have a laugh?
It seems that those moments are back in Apple and they also seem to remember the early days of Linux in the desktop world.
Curious, isn’t it?
After my blood pressure dropped to healthier levels I got the strangest feeling of déjà vu. This felt exactly like using Linux in the early 2000s. Things break at random for reasons you can’t understand and the only way to fix it is to find terminal commands from discussion forums, type them in and hope for the best. Then it hit me.
