Question OS X.2 What do YOU want??

Maybe Apple is listening...
Okay What do you want with 10.2?

Here is what I want:
1.) Better Battery life!! I used to get 4 hours on my TiBook, but now only get about 2.5 to 3 under OS X (compared to 9).

2.) Software Airport Base Station! I can't afford a base station, and must use my iMac in OS 9 as a Software Base Station cause X doesn't have it yet!!

Thats all I want (although some more speed would be nice) !!

I'll add:

- Spring-loaded folders
- Labels
- Folders that actually remember layout & settings
- Selective use of dotfiles on network volumes (even though it conflicts with the previous one )
- Improved SMB/NFS connectivity options
- Drivers for my Alps USB Dye-sub printer (I can dream, can't I?)

Yeh, using a software airport base station is a GREAT idea, that should be possible in some way, shouldn't it?
I want SPEED

If you drag a file onto a folder, that the folder opens and you could browse further in an folder in that folder, and that folder opens when you drag your file onto that folder and etc....

that's all folks..

I'd like to see....

- location/address bar like windows... (optional of course..)
- better finder response (although i am on iMac DV SE 400mHz)
- faster
- not bring down my system when using itunes and other apps cause i only have 256MB RAM
- better networking features (how you connect to server, etc) as its too confusing trying to connect to a networked computer if you are dumb (or tired)
- the ability to lose the aqua-ness (or tone down) for a less processor-intensive GUI
- ability to save different image formats out of preview (or some other program), because how do you make a jpg file out of a tif (such as screenshot) file if you don't have photoshop or a third party app

don't get me wrong... i love os x... but the fact that it runs slower than the 450mhz pc i have at work running windows98 is a bit disappointing... but i've had great success and ease in setting up and running mac os x... something that is too difficult for windows...

Things such as my external firewire hard drive (which my system is installed onto), the laser printer, etc were all detected and easily installed (only needed for printer)... although it says my epson stylus 1160 is not a supported printer....

Compared to windows mac os x rocks in every domain, except for speed...

make it faster and you have already met my expectations... implement the list above and you will surpass my wildest dreams...
