The Santa Fe “El Capitan” offered coach travel between Chicago and Los Angeles using hi-level coaches along with a diner and lounge, its double decker hi-level cars providing a greater passenger capacity than traditional single-level trains. The El Capitan was revolutionary in that it offered excellent service and a train schedule that matched the speed of first class sleeper trains such as the 'Super Chief' while remaining affordable to the every-day passenger. In fact, in January 1958 the 'El Capitan' and 'Super Chief' trains were consolidated to run together, though in peak traffic times such as Chrismas or the summer months the two would still keep separate train schedules to accomodate the increased ridership.
Really nice blog post from SuperDuper developer Dave Nanian about how El Capitan’s new security measures impacted his product:
Step into any Super Duper Burger, and you’ll notice we’re different. From our famous (free) house-made pickles to the hand-painted signage, to our cheerful staff, we build our restaurants like we build our burgers—sustainably, locally, and with an unwavering commitment to quality. Cloning, or migrating data, is a critical step when you're replacing a hard drive with a new Crucial SSD because it transfers your data from your old drive t. The equipment for the 'new' Super Chief was by this time twenty years old; most of El Capitan's Hi-Level coaches were pushing fifteen. With no new orders to sustain them the remaining car builders were slowly dying as skilled employees and equipment suppliers faced unemployment and bankruptcy.
This time, the current version of SuperDuper is dead in the water on El Capitan. It just won’t work. But don’t dismay: we’ve worked to change that. I’m happy to say, to those of you who are on the Beta (and those who are going to join the public beta today), we’ve developed and tested a Beta version of SuperDuper that makes bootable copies of El Capitan. There’s a link to download it at the end of this post.
But please don’t skip down there. Keep reading.
Don’t let Dave down! Keep reading. It’s an interesting view into how Apple is pushing OS X forward and how developers have to figure out new ways of doing things.
