Time tonight

[PeteyG]

5:30-8pm Pacific Time, 8:30-11pm Eastern Time

And you can always listen to past shows, so you don't HAVE to catch the real thing.

I saw an edition of Screensavers whilst visiting in Chicago a few months ago (I'm UK-based). It had Wozniak on it, and he was saying how much he liked his new 12" Powerbook.

The 12" Powerbook is OS X-based, so the answer to your question must be yes.

Cheers,
Ian

"I use ( Mac OS X) but I have computers with ( Mac OS 9) doing important tasks. Why would I switch when it just works forever?" Wozniak said, noting that his home computer collection includes a number of desktop and notebook machines running various versions of Apple's operating system. One of those home machines is Apple's ill-fated Cube.

He uses both, apparently. Taken from this article from this past January

From his e-mail responses (you can read more at www.woz.org), admittedly this is from a while back when OS X was new:

Comment from E-mail:
My name is Adam W. I was wondering, since you've been "into" the apple scene forever. From the birth of the mac and it's OS, how do you feel about the new Max Os X? Does it appeal to you? Do you find things you'd rather remain the same to the old one? Any suggestions that you'd like to see innovated into it? I hope to hear from ya soon.

Woz:
I think that the MacOS X is the best one yet. It feels and looks nice and consumer machines should. It gets around accusations that MacOS 9 is ancient and weak. It was costly and the conversion is costly and difficult. I think it's as great a risk as switching to the Power PC was.

I haven't had enough time with it, due to a busy schedule, to explore my own suggestions. I'd try to look for a LONG time and think about things that really helped me using computers and then look for a way to slightly change something in MacOS X to make it 'smaller' but do everything as well including what I think of, or so well that I don't need what I think of. Fewer options about how you do things, but with the finest results, is the way I'd try to go, not to just add and add and add good things. But it's nerve racking to work this way and takes a lot out of you. Managers and programmers have to both work harder than ever.
