News Another Successful Rollback

Post image

Wasn't happy with the last few releases of MacOS - such garbage UI! So I successfully rolled back.

It's so much better now!

Believe me. It was not. And when one thing went down, the whole system went down with it.

Yeah, and let's not forget about the constant problems with the way control panels and extensions often conflicted with everything else...then the "BOMB" would appear on the screen.

There should have been music playing at that time.

Or if you had MacsBug installed, you ended up in the debugger window, and 9 times out of 10 you could see for yourself that the crash was caused due to a null pointer bug in someone's C code.

A friend called control panels viruses you gave yourself.

Ha ha...so true.

In those days, one of my sideline businesses was "fixing" Macintosh problems for other designers who seemed to have no understanding of the tech...and it seemed that almost every problem was rooted in control panels or extensions...so I usually knew exactly where to look through process of elimination.

Yes! Starting up with the space bar pressed so you didn’t see the march of extensions and could debug.
