Happy 25th Birthday OS X!🥳🎉

At exactly midnight on March 24, 2001, Apple released Mac OS X 10.0 (Cheetah) in retail stores

What followed became history, and to this day I consider it the greatest OS ever built

This special day deserved a real party, and everyone showed up🥹

@adacosta @mrmacintosh good old days! I used to work in retail back then, amazing the excitement and willingness to pay > $100 for a new os + we were given an awesome t-shirt souvenir.

@glotcha @mrmacintosh I always remember when I first saw Mac OS X and the box, it was "The Screen Savers", @leo had a segment discussing the launch of the OS. It was just astounding to see an operating system with photo realistic icons, gel buttons the #Aqua theme and wallpaper. It definitely put a jolt in #operatingsystem design.
