   @wezm OS X threw out a ton of good UI design so they could repurpose a mediocre Unix interface.

     Attached is a screenshot of Macintosh System 5.0 released in 1987 (36 years ago). It had an interactive world map to let you set the time zone.

     Later they replaced it with a simple list. The second image is System 7.5 from 1994 (29 years ago). You could type to jump within the list. And not just one character, you could type several characters and it would keep refining the match. 2/2 #ux

     Why are we regressing on user interface usability instead of getting better?

     Here is the first run setup wizard on a @Raspberry_Pi 400. There is a select box to choose your country. It has pre-selected the United States (for some reason). I want to choose Australia. Typing 'a' to jump to the top does nothing, I have to scroll-scroll-scroll to get there. 1/2 #ux
