5th paragraph - post good annoyances

As far as I can tell, the #1 annoyance which has not even been discussed is OSX just
allowing the mouse/cursor to stop working unexplainably for several seconds leaving
the user to just jiggle the mouse waiting to get the machines attention again.

I have a dual processor G5 and cannot think of one thing that an operating system
does that is more basic than accepting input from the user. To drop mouse x/y
coordinates and not write them to the screen is a travesty.

"cool keyboard commands" box

command-A "selects all", not as stated in book (Apple doc 75459 lists it as "select
all" also)

option-command-F is incorrect for selecting Search but command-F works.
