About this site

For six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul

Another difference between Microsoft and Apple...
When Microsoft charges $99 for an OS upgrade, the new product is dramatically different from the one it's replacing. When Apple charges $129 for an OS upgrade, it's a minor point release that fixes problems that shouldn't have been there in the first place and adds features that should have been in the prior OS to begin with. It's hard not to get sarcastic about this, but users jumping from Windows 98/Me/2000 to XP got a lot for their money while OS X users jumping to Jaguar are now getting what they should have had from day one (which was 18 months ago, incidentally). It's a sad state of affairs. Jaguar should have been free or a low-cost (~$20) upgrade.
