"On the public beta, I could type a lot faster than Nisus Writer could draw the letters on the screen," he mused. Of course, I've pretty much switched over to AppleWorks because it's carbonized for Mac OS X and zips right along." Even a big clunker like Word runs pretty fast. "That's a strange way Apple has of putting things-carbonized," I mused. "Well, you know the programming library for OS X that Apple's been pushing for years is called Carbon. If a program only uses Carbon routines, it'll run at full speed in both Mac OS 9 and OS X. "That's the big problem, isn't it? A non-Carbonized program will probably run on Mac OS X using Mac OS 9 compatibility mode, but it can't use a lot of the new features, and it might run a little slower than a Carbonized program." Apple says just as all life is based on carbon, all programs to be used on Mac OS 9 and X should be Carbon-based." #Thought train amc os full# "It's even a little more complicated than that. To really take advantage of all the nice new features of OS X, programmers will avoid Carbon and use another library called Cocoa. Cocoa programs won't run at all under OS 9. I'm pretty sure all the heavy hitters like Adobe and Quark won't even stop to look at Carbon they'll move straight to Cocoa, forcing their users onto OS X." Greg brought up the Process Manager. "Look at this!" He double-clicked iTunes and right away we could see the Mac go into compatibility mode. "According to the Process Viewer, compatibility mode sucks up about half the machine, even when you aren't doing anything in it. You can run pretty much all your old favorite programs, but you really suck a lot of life out of OS X. ![]() This is the biggest reason why people are going to want Carbon and Cocoa programs." I think it should be called vampire mode. "That's iTunes! It was released by Apple in January. Apple's been beating on developers for a couple of years to Carbonize their programs, but they didn't even do it themselves." Apparently there was such a push to get it out by January's Macworld that they didn't have time. However, just when they finally get onboard and on route to Headquarters, the destruction of Honesty Island destroys the train's tracks, causing it to be literally lost in the Memory Dump.The iTunes web page ( ) mumbles softly about a Carbon version coming along soon now. From then on their journey concentrates on catching the train and then getting it to go, which turns out to be harder than they expected. The train only runs during day, however, as its conductor is on break when Riley sleeps.Īfter Joy and Sadness get lost in Riley's mind, they meet Bing Bong who advises them to take the Train of Thought to get back to Headquarters. ![]() It is one of the only ways to get to Headquarters. It goes all around Riley's mind in a more or less unpredictable way and delivers supplies like daydreams, facts and opinions, as well as memories. It is a fantasy train with a locomotive looking like a cross between a tank engine and an electric locomotive that runs on tracks which form in front of it and disappear behind it. The Train of Thought is a train inside Riley's mind in Inside Out. ![]()
