Don’t care. Apple lost me when they discontinued Rosetta and killed legacy software. I’m still limping along with a 6 year old MacBook and Snow Leopard. When it’s time to upgrade it will be to another OS, as I will have to get all new software regardless of what I buy.

That does remind me that while OS 9 lasted for all of three years, we’ve been dealing with the various OS X cats for over a decade now. Will they ever bother with giving folks an eleven? I mean, faster than Chrysler took between the 300L (1965) and the 300M (1999)?

Is there anything cooler than your own cat? How about OS X HouseCat or OS X Tabby? I like the LOLCat idea too.

I’m holding out for the 2016 release being Cougar – Apple’s 40th Anniversary.

I always thought the best name would by OS Xi. The “Xi” would be the Greek letter Xi, so the OS would be pronounced “Oh Ess Zigh” or less correctly, “Oh Ess Key” or “Oh Ess Sky.” Typographically, it would be could be written as OS Xi (suggesting a Roman 11, successor to 10), OS Ξ (with the Greek letter Xi), or OS 三 (with the Chinese character for “san” meaning three, suggesting the third incarnation of Apple’s operating system). Code names for different versions would be something besides cats.

OSX Ceiling Cat would track all of your porn cookies and send them back to Apple to be audited. Who wants that?

Mmmm, Hunters of Dune. 100 pages of story squeezed into 528 pages of book.

What’s cooler than a mountain lion? Two mountain lions. Hence, OS X 10.9 Two Mountain Lions.

If they offered OS X Sha’um I might finally think about trying it. But only if I could get a legitimate license to run it on a hackintosh.vm.

It will do everything before it is ready, and never quite work properly.

No, you're not the only one. Though if the alternative is OSX Cringer, then I'll happily accept Lion-O.

That’s my favorite. Biggest and baddest, though it does carry the whiff of obsolescence…

I thought that was from the very first episode, where they are all running around naked. They only wear clothes because the climate of their new home isn’t suitable for running around naked all the time. In fact the authority figure guy has to explain the concept of clothes to them as I recall.

I never noticed before, but why does she need a belt if she’s not wearing pants?
