[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1828583, member: 396914"] Patrick, I find your argument hilarious. Apple's GUI has NEVER been accused of being "obvious." In fact, the Apple interface was horribly cryptic from the very first graphic Mac. I remember going to a store to see what all the excitement was about, with this new graphic interface. There sat a Mac, grey screen, one Apple Icon in the upper left corner, one one-button mouse and zero help. Clicking on the revealed a minimalist, cryptic and useless menu. No obvious way to start a program, no obvious way way to see the drive contents, no obvious path forward, no obvious help anywhere. Walked out of the store, never looked at anything Apple again for 30+ years. That sign should have been hung in the office of the developers of that first OS. When Windows came out, there were icons for things, and you could actually USE the interface. It wasn't perfect, but you didn't have to break the secret to use it. I didn't get back to Apple until about 2008, when Apple had learned that less is not always more. [/QUOTE]
