On: Gassée: Thank God Apple chose NeXT over my BeOS

[tambourine_man]

I must be the only one, but BeOS felt faster in 90s hardware than OS X does on this 32 GB Mac Pro.

I love OS X and Unix but it has always felt dog slow to me. It was infuriating in PPC days but it's still frustrating even in current hardware.

As someone who has worked on Macs with kilobytes of RAM and was flabbergasted by BeOS, waiting for my computer to respond seems unacceptable.
