Sometimes I encounter something in Mac OS X --especially since the update to Leopard -- that is bizarre or counterintuitive. Like this message, which immediately reminds me of the kind of error I'd expect to find in Windows:



Gosh, no wonder I couldn't access the movie I wanted... my Internet connection is online!

And why is the "OK" not vertically centered in the button? Little stuff like that makes me crazy.

The text isn't centered because I changed the system font to Helvetica on a whim, wondering if Leopard was originally supposed to use that font.
Other than that baseline issue, it looks... right, doesn't it? More modern. Like the iPhone.
