Guys, that Tour CD you're getting all excited about wasn't of Copland. They had already given up on Copland by late 1996. That was a tour of the upcoming OS 8, though the real OS 8 was even missing some of the already cut down features that the CD demonstrated.
By the time that CD came out, Steve Jobs was already back at Apple!
The real Copland was much older. Here's a Copland screenshot from early 1994 (April '94), and diagrams of some widgets. This was from the days before System 7.5 hit the streets.. Ahh. Nostalgia
<strong>I also have 2 copland builds but they require 2 old macs, are extremely unstable, and there is a good chance they won't work for you</strong><hr></blockquote>
Ya know what - I have old macs lying around - could you send them to me plz??? I love beta stuff! Esp. copland!!
<strong>Having a checkbox to mount disks and network drives automatically in the Dock has always been one of my requests to Apple. I figured you could put it in the Finder prefs next to the option to have them show up on the Desktop.
I'd find it incredibly convenient for some things.
And the search-as-folder idea is pretty nice too.</strong><hr></blockquote>
what's the diff. between that and just dragging the disk down there?
It's the Copland Installer It installs in 7.5.3 and holding down caps locks when it reboots makes it load the NuKernel and then boots into Copland. I'm gonna try to get some screenshots of copland running even though it freezes up with the debugger.
<strong>I had builds D7E1 and D11E4 running on a 6100 without too much trouble. It does need a 2nd mac to run the Power Mac Debugger program.</strong><hr></blockquote>
<strong>Yeah, I remember most the promise of different themes. There was to an industrial theme, a child-oriented theme, and so on.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Yeah, Gizmo and Techno. That was Mac OS 8.5 though.

<strong>I would still like a copy... please??</strong><hr></blockquote>
calm down. I'll post what I have to the links I posted above when I have time to look for them (they are on a cd somewhere)
Here's what Copland was supposed to have:
-Multiple Themes: Platinum, Kids (Later renamed "Gizmo"), and Hi-Tech (Later, Drawing Board was added)
-Task Manager (you could set up, say, an appointment, or a disk backup, and have the computer display a message or do it.)
-New Platinum Interface
-Tabbed Folders
-Improved Find (content search; and auto updating saved searches)
-Multiple User Capability
-Protected Memory, Preempetive Multitasking, Improved VM
-Classic Enviornment
-Improved Open/Save Dialogs
-68k Compatibility

but you have to promise to disk image any other Apple Demo CD's and upload then. (Disck copy format only).
