A reason why I love OSX!

Snow Leopard's 64-bit Cocoa rewrite of Finder paid off, and it is now even more solid than ever.

Copying 2TB despite a dinosaur that shoot lasers from its eye

Of course, I could copy 2TB of files with the 32-bit Carbon version of Finder without any worries, but Apple’s 64-bit Cocoa rewrite of Finder paid off, and it still makes me happy I bought a Mac.

Back when I was a Windows user, copying nearly 2TB of files was a hell. Explorer would fail somewhere in the middle, and I’d have to see where it left off and resume manually. Finder is a solid file manager. I knew about Win32 copy apps such as Xcopy, but OSX comes with a solid app to do what you need replacements for on Windows (Teracopy, for instance).
