And an unexpected anniversary present is a bunch of new traffic via a comment I made on Rory’s recent post about XP vs OS X, which later was linked to by [inexplicably popular] Fake Steve Jobs. The target is a post I wrote a few months back on what annoyed me about OS X, and looking back I still feel pretty much the same way about it. If Apple really wants people to "switch" they should pay a little more attention to how 90% of the computer users in the world already do things, because [believe it or not] not every single thing about Windows is bad. I run both operating systems all the time, and it would be a delight if not for these basic keyboard/UI grievances that make it so damn hard to jump from one to the other. If only the real Steve Jobs were listening…

I guess this isn’t much of an anniversary post (I must dig up my graphics tablet and draw some pictures again), but then the actual anniversary was two days ago. My first post is dated August 28 2002, and interestingly makes reference to the HTML Editor in which I compose my blog entries to this very day!
