Jef Raskin, a member of the original Macintosh Development Team, asserts that the new Mac OS X operating system has rendered the Macintosh a mess. Personally I love Mac OS X, but I am a guy who taught myself Linux in order to prepare for it. What Raskin says echoes what a student said to me just yesterday after I had to spend an hour on the phone with her to return her new iMac G5 to operability. She had bought the iMac to replace her old Mac and lamented that she wished she had bought a Windows computer because she thought it was easier to use.
