Gene Sternberg looks back on the history of OS X — PING!

Apple OS X Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Cute article. I was there... it's pretty much on the mark. With one exception:

> ...With Windows 10, the major new feature is restoring stuff from Windows 7 with the new modern interface, and stealing a few things from OS X, such as multiple desktop support...

Ummmm, no. *cough* Unix *cough* Linux *cough*

The multi-desktop stuff on my CentOS Linux workstation is incredibly smooth, featureful, and highly functional. IMO both Windows and OS-X could do better than they're doing in that respect.

That said, nice walk down memory lane... :)

The vast majority never touched the original Mac OS.

Count us in the tiny minority. Mrs. POF managed software licensing at Apple to developers for all Apple II machines, Lisa, and early Mac. We've had about every flavor of Mac from Day 1 in our house. I wish we had kept them all and maintained our own museum, but our house simply didn't have enough room while we were raising our family.
