I remember when I went to MacUpdate and VersionTracker hoping to see 1 or 2 updates per day, or on a great day, a NEW application! Each one of those updates/apps brought a particular joy and confidence in the future. So, here's the sentimental kicker...the future's here. Today, I realized how much I take for granted and, by proxy, how confident I am in OS X.
I actually GRUMBLE when I pan through the dozens of updates and don't see anything that suits me in the moment.
