Apple's long processor journey
BeOS seemed really nice at the time. I'm not sure if it would have worked out better in the long run, but it sounded great.I always had the sense that consumer focused computers should be engineered with real-time capabilities, and instead, they ended up being based on time-sharing systems which seems like it hampers UI and media processing. For decades, and especially presently, I get so frustrated with lags and hiccups no matter how fast the CPU and storage are.
