Too bad it was like having a really secure lead balloon. It was interesting to
look at, when it worked, but otherwise less than stellar. OS X is a major leap
forward, in terms of utility, scalability, applicability, competitiveness, and
stability. I really wouldn't know about older MacOS security, because I never
had any reason to pay attention to it. The most secure vault in the world is
useless if all it contains is costume jewelry.
