I wonder how that worked out for Don Norman (Apple Fellow and preface author)?

- simonh 4y agoAs for me, I switched to the Mac. It's got grep, pipes, SED scripts, all there when I need them.
- kanzenryu2 4y agoApparently those random crashes were often caused by hardware memory corruption. I remember one manual basically said something like "if this error happens, don't worry about it, it probably won't happen much". And then you would see it for the third time that day.
- guerrilla 4y agoWhere'd you read that? Doesn't seem likely. Everyone knew it was because MacOS didn't have memory protection at the time...
