  • [quote]Marklar would have no such limitations built in, allowing Apple to appeal to Windows users frustrated by the restrictions on how they use their computers. Apple has taken the stance that users should be free to use their computers how they wi…
  • For the nostalgic souls among us, someone will eventually write an emulator to run OS9 in the not so distant future. This will not solve the problems with disk repair tools I guess, but this way you could still use the legacy OS.

  • [quote]Originally posted by Akac: Back in Classic Mac OS days, Apple would release 7.5, 7.6 or 8.1, 8.5, 8.6. Apple doesn't do that any longer. Apple releases 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 and 10.2.3 instead. This keeps them at the "X" moniker for a lot lon…
