I wonder if we haven't already lost the fight. Steve-baby in his keynote showed us a ton of great gear and software (kinda – Keynote unfortunately blows(resize graphics? Use multiple images in one slide? ) as does Safari for the reasons below – like can’t get Hotmail access??? ) but it would seem that the internet has long passed us by. Unless you only go to your own personal web page and wonderful apps like ehMac – but these are too far few and in between.
In the last few weeks I have had all sorts of ASPs crash, freeze and when and if they work stuff is scrambled and surely the geeks who built this stuff didn't make it to look this way??? Nothing seems to work. I tried a PC on the sites in question...rock solid, everything is where it should be. I shudder when I watch a .exe load in say “trip.com” - there goes my system I say to myself.
OK so if I am supposed to be a cultist how can I in good conscience tout the “TRUE WAY” if the internet – a rather important thing for most if not all of us - just doesn’t work?
Fine... I want to use Macs...do digital photos – family albums, DVDs, MP3s, graphics...
If I lived in a cave OK? But I am up to my you know what in this internet thing. Man it is frustrating.
Oh! BTW the sites I am talking about
Aeroplan
Expedia
Trip.com
My ISP appliance
Getty
Internic
Webex
Etc etc etc
I was going to post screen shots...I just don't have time - but trust me they don’t work at best.
And at worst they freeze Explorer and Netscape and/or go into that dreaded “Internet Zone” which means I am sitting watching the browser stall right in the middle of the information highway.
Yep lets blame the programmers. But regardless it just ain’t working. I hate this!
