What do you miss about OS Classic? I'm just curious.
- danilocampos 16y agoHow about "my voice is my password?" That wasn't bad.
- city41 16y agoApple just had a better respect for consistency back then IMO. iTunes 10 is a great example, now we have the minimize/expand/close buttons vertically down the side? Sure it looks cool, but consistency is much more important. And just lots of other little things that added up. Like placing the close button on its own side of the window. So if you are clicking in that region, then you've only got one target so the app can more confidently know you really did mean to close the window. Now in OSX, maybe you meant minimize? Or how the trash can was always in the lower right corner, using the edges of the screen to its advantage. If you dragged an item that far down, then you only had one possible destination, the trash, so the OS confidently places the item in the trash without nagging you for a confirmation (like Windows does by default). No OSX doesn't nag you, but the trash can isn't taking advantage of the corner of the screen either. Minor things, yes, but I still feel the Apple of old thought about these things more thoroughly.
- dsspence 16y agoDepends which consistency you mean. It wasn't consistent prior to 10 when you went to press the green button to get the mini-player and the orientation of the buttons changed from horizontal to vertical. If I'm remembering correctly. I like your other points though.
