Mac OS X Reaches First Birthday

Posted by pudge on from the and-i-forgot-a-present dept.

hotsauce writes "Mac OS X is one year old, and the Washington Post has a good summary. What do people think now that we're at the promised '12 o'clock'? What's in the year ahead?" I dunno what's in the year ahead, but as for today, I got a new TiBook and had a kernel panic while watching the This Is Spinal Tap Special Edition DVD.

  1. Where can I get a decent mac? by jpt.d · · Score: 0, Troll

    Where can I get a decent mac laptop for under $2000cdn? Then I would probably get one.

    I run a p2/266 laptop right now (in addition to my 800mhz desktop), and want an upgrade, and mac would be kool.

  2. Unless you count Rhapsody! by Jeremiah+Cornelius · · Score: 1, Troll
    I was running Rhapsody DR2 on Intel hardware in '98... It was a lot like MacOS X Server: Classic GUI mated to OpenStep 3.x+. OS X Server was around in '99. No Quartz, and incomplete Carbon API, but heck!

    I know I'm just an old whiner, and not part of the hip new Linux scene that never touched sed or awk, but I still think of OS X as OpenStep 5.0. This is the perspective that goes along with Solaris 7 = Solaris 3.0 and Win XP = NT 5.1.
