Andreas (82MHz)I was a bit bored today and so I set up 4 qemu VMs with OS X 10.0 through 10.3.
It's really interesting to see how the OS has changed over time...

Alec Sargent@82mhz I remember those interfaces as a kid and they where so pretty, they also felt very close to what a desktop would be. Now they look like a a supposed sleek advertisement made interface.

Which version was that?
I loved Leopard and Snow Leopard. It started going crappy when Lion came out, and I don't even recognize it anymore.
Every time I see a laptop with a bloody notch in it, I'm slightly tempted to chuck it into the nearest body of water... or toilet. XD
If I had a lot less inhibition and a lot more muscle, I might be tempted to say, "You bought a laptop... with a NOTCH in it. How effing stupid do you feel right now?!?"
Fortunately, I'm not that rude. Or crass.
Or maybe unfortunately. XD

Armin Hanisch@rl_dane @contaminase @82mhz Snow Leopard will forever hold a spot in the computing corner of my heart. 😎
mhd@82mhz I was there for parts of that, and I definitely remember every release to feel like some visual progress was made. Granted, that was partly because of the CRT-influenced pinstriping being removed first, and after that the always rather dubious "brushed metal" for Safari and the Finder being phased out. They should've stopped then and there ;)
IIRC 10.3 where they introduced the brushed metal Finder, so we're still a good way away from perfection. It was more than made up by Exposé, though. Best feature ever, for a long, long while.

Funny enough I never used any of these systems back in the day, I was never a Mac user. But I still feel weirdly nostalgic for them, there is just a beauty and simplicity about them that's missing today.
