Macintosh Stuff by Michael Bach

Motto 1: If there were no Macintosh, we would all still be staring at “C:>”

Motto 2: Don’t anthropomorphize computers. They hate that. — Anonymous

My first home-built computer was the Nascom in 1978. My personal comparison of Macintosh and Windows/Intel. Most people will not want to read this (“10 billion fleas cannot be in error”), but you might: Always work on the bright side of life... As of 2002 things have changed a little, since we have moved to Mac OS X.

Tips

cmd-shift-n	new folder

OSX, complient applications
cmd-a	select all
cmd-n	new window
cmd-w	close window
cmd-opt-w	close all open windows
cmd-m	minimize window
OSX, all applicatons
cmd-opt-eject	sleep
ctrl-eject	Shutdown, Restart & Sleep Dialog
Shutdown, Restart & Sleep Dialog
r	restart
s	sleep
esc	cancel
return	shutdown

OS9, Startup, Boot-ROM phase

Always work on the bright side of life...

Since I both work on Macintoshes (“The Bright Side...”) and Windows PCs (“The Dark Side...”) I have an everyday experience of the two worlds. This is a very personal account, many people will disagree, well, that's fine. But the years have worn me thin, more than a decade of misinformation from the dark side brittles. There is lies, statistics, and Microsoft information...

Furthermore, I assume that I will sound arrogant. I do not really intend to do so, but the general tenor simply arises from years of frustration with misinformed PC users and administrators, full of prejudices. Thus –erroneously, I know– I conclude that I also can air my prejudices, tho I like to call them “experiences”.

Note added 4 years later: Much has changed, for instance the entire lab has moved to Mac OS X. For an “OS shootout” see here. End of note.

Ok, here goes:

IRQ and INT conflicts: Forget them. They don't exist on Macs, never did. 15 years of plug and play, no plug and pray. And many plugs (sic) are not necessary at all: On Macs, serial IO, printer connection, sound in, sound out, mouse, SCSI etc. are all standard anyway.
Volumes: Names or Devices? In the MacOS, a volume (floppy, disk, MOD, CD, ...) is referenced by its name. On DOS/Windows, volumes are referenced by device (A:, B:, C:, the conclusion of this list is left as an exercise). This has many consequences: When I insert a floppy, or a CD, or a MOD into its drive on a Mac, it immediately appears on the desktop. When I put it into the trash it is ejected (not deleted, that's certainly somewhat of an inconsistency) and vanishes from the desk, all caches are flushed. Under Windows, I must look into “My Computer”. Or put a “link” on the desktop. Further, there are lots of inconsistencies: On my home Windows machine, I occasionally connect a MOD via SCSI. Then that is drive D:, and the CD is drive E:. Without the MOD, the CD is on D: (the link still has the MOD icon), and the link to E: (with the CD icon) leads into the middle of nowhere. Further, cache inconsistencies can occur. Recently the directory of one of my MODs was overwritten by the directory of the MOD that had previously been in that drive. (I assume that these problems can be overcome and I would indeed welcome help; but that would not defeat my argument: These problems should not be there in the first place.)
File Types. In the MacOS, files have a “type” and a “creator” property (four characters each, capitalisation significant), normally transparent to the user. The MacOS (through the finder) maintains a database that links these with the appropriate icons and the appropriate applications. In Windows, files are typed by a 3-letter extension. This confounds type and creator, e.g., Word files are *.DOC for documents and *.DOT for macro templates.
File paths to applications. This topic makes no sense to Mac users, things simply work. If in Windows one would, for instance, like to rearrange one's applications into “Applications” and “Utilities”, by simply creating a new folder “UTILs”, move (e.g.) Norton and other sensible stuff into it, and assume things to work, you are lost: Files will no longer find their applications, programs can no longer be launched from the start bar. I assume that Windows users know they should never touch anything on their machine and simply do not know what they are missing.
Aliases vs. Links. A reference to a file is called “alias” on Macs, and “link” on Windows. The alias concept was inherited from unix, and is very nice. If you move a file, the alias will still find it! Furthermore, if you put an alias to a file on a server on a floppy and walk to another machine, it will still point to the same file on the server, regardless how many drives the current machine has and what have you not. In Windows, links are nothing but glorified paths, which are static and cannot follow a movement of the target file.
