On more than one occasion, I've both heard and read that the 
Macintosh Operating System has remained relatively unchanged 
since its introduction. So, the question which I pose to all is, 
if you could change the Macintosh OS, what would you change to 
make it a more effective user interface?

Ideally, the interface should be easy for the beginning user to 
become accustomed to with relative ease, yet it should not 
become cumbersome for the advanced user.  The latter has become 
a reality for myself, and I'm quite sure for others.  The only 
way which I've overcome the Finder's shortcomings are through 
various externals such as Oncue & Tempo II.  Should the finder 
include advanced features such as these, or should the finder 
just be a common base for all of these externals?

Does the Finder need an overdrive?

Responses via email are preferred, and if it is just SO 
voluminous, well golly gee, I'll just post a summary...

(even if you don't have a reply for this question, I wouldn't 
seeing if I'm actually getting global distribution, so if it 
isn't too much trouble, a little message email'd to me would be 
appreciated, as the gateway is new, both in the sense of being 
setup, and in the software)
