You talking to me!
First things first, sorry if this doesn't belong here (can a admin dude move it if needed). Second I'm sure this may have been covered before ?_apologies if so.

Well basically where do you think is Apples naming structure for OS X is going.

Let me explain OS X 10.0 was Cheetah, 10.1 Puma, 10.2 Jaguar, 10.3 Panther...

As we see they are going from fast cats to slower ones (I would have thought a Jag was faster than a Cheetah ;-)). When they get to Lion, which I would say is the laziest and slowest of the big cats would that signal the advent of a brand new OS or would they change to other animals like sloth? What do you think the next ones are going to be after Panther, Leopard etc?

:D
 
Interesting point. Oddly though, they get faster with each release. Anyway, I'm thinking they're going to continue through the whole feline family until they move up to OS 11 (or maybe XI?) or they run out of cats
 
That just made me remember the only "crashed OS X" I have ever seen. A German air plane from the IInd World War. (Note the planes name, "Miss Steve") :)

Hehehehe.

Very cool pic unfortunately to be picky its a US plane. Look slike the pilot mayhave got out OK.

Umh wait not german .. .whatever, more on the pilot;
" 1st Lt William J. Cullerton claimed five air-to-air and 15 air-to-ground victories, ranking him 29th among Eighth Air Force aces under the system in force in Europe at the time, where no distinction was drawn between air and ground kills. The Eighth Air Force was out-of-step with other units,and official recognition of ground kills was withdrawn postwar. Cullerton's P-51D carried a blue rudder and a 12-inch blue nose band, markings adopted by the 357th FS after November 1944. Several other 357th FS Mustangs carried the same 'Licking Dragon' motif on their noses." >> http://www.eaw.it/pagine/USAAF 355FG.htm

The P-51 Mustang was to the US Army what the Spitfire MkVII was to the RAF. Combined to the planes built by the Trumann industries, they were used to protect Flying Fortresses such as the A-26 Avenger or the B-27 Marauder when they used to bombard Germany in 1943-1945.

I used to build up a lot of Airfix's when I was younger ;).

I want Apple to _hide_ those names again. Or to go back to names that have something to do with the release...
