Mac OS. Do you remember it?
@nixCraft Yep, I definitely remember it.
@nixCraft Imagine that "dong" sound divided into several pieces and played in lockstep.
@nixCraft The real question is... do you remember holding down SHIFT to troubleshoot?

@nixCraft

It was released 40 years ago, the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984 . So if anyone here answering the question was, say 10 years old when they first used it, they'd be in their fifties now. A bunch of old farts here, on Mastodon. By the looks of things anyway. ๐Ÿ˜‰

@farstrider @nixCraft Which OS do Apple users run today then?

@HugeGameArtGD @nixCraft

Without being funny, is your question serious? As far as I know, macOS 14 Sonoma is the latest version.

@farstrider @nixCraft
Ok, I was just joking about the original post because "Mac OS" usually refers to all releases, while Mac OS Classic are the editions between 1984 and 2001.
@nixCraft Every time I watch Wall-E I am reminded of it.
@nixCraft I grew up on it and still love it now. Had a great, unique gaming scene.
@nixCraft This ain't Unix! ๐Ÿ˜…
@nixCraft Only from the outdated Macs at school. We only had Windows PCs at home (until I started daily driving Ubuntu and Linux Mint)
@nixCraft I love MacOS 7 to this day. It was the most beautiful OS of all time to me.
@nixCraft I have seen it, but never really used it. I was a Commodore 64 kid who wrote assembly code, none of this graphical UI nonsense! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
@nixCraft No, never heard of macOS (and Windows) before.
@nixCraft sure, there was a lot of confusion when I did homework on the Mac in the school computer lab yet my ๐Ÿ’พ was useless at home on my fatherโ€™s PC

@nixCraft

I remember using VersaTerm over a modem on System 6 to first invoke FTP to SUMEX-AIM, and then use [xyz]modem to download from the host to my Mac SE.

@nixCraft I remembered watching my mother working on DECโ€™s VAX machine
@nixCraft Yes, of course I remember. But do you still remember Apple DOS and ProDOS as well? ๐Ÿง
@nixCraft Yes, I remember it before it was in color.
@nixCraft Not only do I remember it, I still develop for it ๐Ÿ˜…
@nixCraft very much so. I always enjoyed using it.
@nixCraft i donโ€™t remember the icons having labels. custom setting or have i forgotten things?
