Quinn NelsonI’m gonna launch a few items of merch next year. They’re very cool and will appeal to a much wider reach than the “Snazzy Labs YouTube audience” so I want to sell them under a separate brand. But what on earth do I name the site/company/etc.? Names are hard…
Lots reading as cop-land and while incorrect, that’s very fair. Copland (cope-lind) is a big ‘ol fail of an operating system that never released following Mac OS System 7.
Maybe I need to make it more “apple-y?” This too over the top? Idk.
I could also just choose a different name, but I love the sound and lore of Copeland.
John Siracusa@snazzyq The rotating zoom outline when opening Finder windows was shit-hot. https://youtu.be/bXfsAYUjvms
(Also: seafood pasta!)
Mac OS 8 (code name Copland) Demos

stusmith@siracusa like, chipotle shit-hot? Or just run of the mill Taco Bell?
Freehours9@siracusa I’ve watched these videos countless times and don’t think I ever noticed that they swap the WindowShade and Zoom buttons on some of the demos. Clearly they were still deciding. Did any test builds actually ship with the WindowShade button on the left?
@freehours9 I don’t remember, but probably.
@siracusa I remember watching this the first time on Computer Chronicles (the original airing in the 90’s) and never realized the Apple person was just playing these videos.
Karl Baron@freehours9 @siracusa I remember feeling being ripped off by a “MacOS 8 Demo CD!” bundled with a magazine that was just a Macromedia Director project with these videos in it.
@siracusa Aaron is a novice, Chris is an intermediate user, Kelly is an advanced user. Wonder what Pat was?!?
Jesse Gallagher@siracusa Oh, man. I'm pretty sure I had an extension for System 7 on my Mac SE that added that. It took forever to “render” the "animation", but it was totally worth it.
