> I'm old enough to remember when Apple's OS was mostly rock-solid. What OS are you talking about? OS X has always had buggy .0 releases. If anything it's gotten better over time, though I still agree with waiting for a .1 or .2. If you mean Mac OS or earlier, then I wouldn't know. I was young and we always just kept whatever came on the computer.

10.4 was pretty good. My point about the .1 and .2 releases were that they're buggy, too. I look into my crystal ball and predict that 10.11.1 and 10.11.2 will both have serious issues (though not as much as 10.11.0. You really have to wait for the waves of bugfix releases after a point release to end before it's safe for human consumption.
