THANK YOU!
Can’t wait for you to try it.
I had a Mac 128K (very) briefly in 1985, and an LC in 1991, but I went to the Mac - for good - in 1999 with the release of the Blue & White PowerMac G3. That was the pro Mac of the time, released soon after the Bondi Blue iMac made its debut. And I went there because Mac OS X was on the way. (I was a long-time NEXTSTEP fan at the time.)
B&W PowerMac G3 400, Quicksilver PowerMac G4 dual 800, PowerMac G5 dual 2.5 liquid cooled, and MacPro1,1 dual Xeon --- it was pro Macs for me over the years until they became aimed at a higher tier of u$er.
I am a Mac Studio user today, but I will always have very fond memories of those lovely and powerful pro Mac towers.
Pour one out for @siracusa tonight.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Those of you that used to use your computer hooked up to your living room TV, what did you keep the computer on? The floor? A TV tray? Coffee table? A rolling cart? A bizarre table/shelf that must have been made from the walls of your great-great-grandma's house? Maybe the TV was on a cart so you could move the TV to watch instead of moving the computer?
OMG... #ProjectBuilder! I started with this software on Mac OS developing Objective-C. 😃
Honestly, this is making Terminal (and Safari) in Tahoe VERY hard for me to use.
Tabs in Tahoe are extremely difficult to distinguish from each other and from the active tab.
I've never switched away from Safari, and I've never investigated third-party terminal apps, but if this ships in the fall, I'll most likely need to do both. And I really, really don't want to.
Please, Apple, fix your design. Computers aren't passive "content" viewers — they're tools.
