Hmmm, maybe marketing suicide but feature creep seems to be another flavor of that beast. I personally think $15 is a pittance, but it would be nice to see a small discount for OD users. I think that would eliminate the nineteen plan option, you know? Get 10% or something off of new releases. Maybe $5 for OD subscribers, $2.50 for Wincustomize subscribers. If you are using a decent ecommerce backend, you should be able to add in something like that even if initially you had to cue

This article has actually been around for quite some time, so I am surprised it is "news." One thing to realize is that Tog is part of NN/g -- check out useit.com and you will see that the firm concentrates on usability at the expense of almost all else. Soooo, this article was written in the same vein. Inflammatory, interesting and ultimately just fodder for people to sound off on.

jtfolden -- I agree. We have three main workstations -- one of them is still OS9, and the other two were just updated. Maybe it should have been called something other than 10.2. The changes on my machine are worth about a half-hour (or more) of productivity a day from the interface speed increases alone. It will pay for itself next week.

I'll throw in my two cents. I work in OSX 10.1.5 all day as a graphic designer. An intern just installed Jaguar on his system. Comparatively, Jaguar is a GREAT upgrade. I love OSX, and find it useful. Maybe not as high and mighty as WebmasterMac, though. I use Windows 2000 in my home setup for 3D animation, and I enjoy it, too. What's my favorite? 2000 with Geoshell and OSX with MaxMenus. Both tweaked all to heck, which is the point of this site, isn't it? I like them both. Sue me. <

One of the best sites for CGI has put Dangeruss on the front page as a featured forum post.
