Someone mail me off-list to inquire as to why I was griping about progress bars on Cocoa-Dev.

I expect my problem stems from the fact that few developers subscribe to user experience fora; commonly graphic artists - art school graduates do that. Even so, I just purchase a Windows notebook computer from Acer. I run Linux Mint under VirtualBox, once I verify that it works OK when I boot natively I will remove Windows. My point is that I'd like to see my colleagues among the Apple Developer Community, as well as my dear old friends who actually work for Apple, prosper, rather than have their products abandoned by people like me. I've been an Apple Developer since 1986, I SQAed MacTCP 1.0.1 and 1.1 then write a new test tool and test plan for 1.2. I was a Senior Engineer in Apple's Traditional OS Integration Team in 1995 and 1996, where I isolated the very-most serious bugs, I also optimized some of the System 7.5.2 and 7.5.3 Resource Manager code. That the bug reports I file don't get fixed is what led me to abandon the Apple platform for Linux. I invite you to continue our friendly debate.
