Copland - Remember those days?
Hehe - I was just thinking about Copland and how new and exciting it was, and how Apple made promises that they never delivered. However, OS X is much better than Copland was ever supposed to be, so that's good. I remember installing the Aaron extension on my computer, and then copying files just to see the progress bars.

It was an interactive movie showing off all the coolness of what Copland would be. I think I'll watch it again.
<strong>Any chance of posting that somewhere please? I would love to watch that...</strong><hr></blockquote>FYI, it was a whole CD. I'm not sure you'll find it outside a H/C server.
Tho, I have it too.
THat is a cool Tour. It's an 80MB Disk Image.
At least those cool 3D folders made it through!

<strong>Yeah, I remember most the promise of different themes. There was to an industrial theme, a child-oriented theme, and so on.

If you search hard enough, you can get all the themes.
<strong>I have a Disk Image of that CD.

Pretty please post the image? You would make some geeks very happy

What has Apple never delivered specifically? Are there features that still are not in OS 9 or OS X that were going to be in Copland? None that I can think of, but I am not very familiar with Copland, so I do not know. We have an OS now with a true, modern, UNIX based foundation and a great interface on top, so that is what I mainly care about.

edit: tell me if you are having any troubles. I have been here but it seems people are connected. I've limited it to 5 people so my connection doesn't get screwed up.
hotline server has just been put up.
hotline://serverforyou.2y.net

HAHA!
Exactly what I was thinking!
In the end, didnt OS9 turn into what Copland was promised as? It had the interface, and wasnt there something about them building protected memory into the later versions of OS9? Oh my days out of the loop have been long...
I'll get it tomorrow, and tell ya what i think...

I'm not sure about what went in copland and what was in rhapsody, but I think these didn't make it:
Save a search as a folder. You click on the folder, and the search is repeated and opens as a finder window. There was a lot of cool search stuff too.
A dock which had all your disks in! There's still no way to mount disks into the dock in X!
Protected memory on programs not written for it. I think this happened, although they may have had blue box then. can't remember.
Can't remember any more now. I used to have the whole Copland UI guidelines as a PDF, I'll see if I can find it sometime.

Yes there is - just drag the disk down to the right hand side of the dock. Then, hold down the mouse button on it or control-click it, and a menu pops up with all the stuff in it.
not like it matters but they don't mount in the dock
I'd find it incredibly convenient for some things.
And the search-as-folder idea is pretty nice too.
