    New Mac. Migration Assistant says it will be done in "about one minute." Hours later it isn't. Steve would not have tolerated this.

        He clearly would, because that has been true of every migration assistant run since the tool was introduced.

        That's strangely comforting. I live in constant fear of Apple declining into another Microsoft, where brokenness is the default.

        Bask in the soothing jankiness of anything Apple builds that Jony Ive didn’t sign off on.

        There's a way to actively check what's going on... I needed because `mac ports` screwd me w/ installations so I had to delete some.

        Actually, he did. Migration assistant was always awful, buggy, and slow.

        Steve would not have created the iPhone 5c either. Apple seems to be learning the hard way.

        Migration Assistant has always been like that. Had one Mac where transfer would slow to a crawl then hang indefinitely.

        migration assistants on all iOS devices suck! When I got the new iPhone it had no clue what it had to do. Suave to Shoddy After Jobs!

        You'd think Steve wouldn't have tolerated a lot of things. Finder. Dot Mac. ZFS. Yet, here we are.
