Well I Guess Everyone Knows Mac OS 9 Exists

[dpaanlka]

Curious... have a feeling a lot of people these days don't. Suspicious about all these people saying "Mac Oh Ess Ex" to me instead of "Mac Oh Ess Ten."

 

[vniow]

Does anyone even care anymore?

 

[srf4real]

Yeh, i knew OS 9 before it was a 'classic'

Many of our new intel recruits probably don't know that Mac OS hasn't always been this pretty!

and, oh, yeah... the correct pronunciation is Mac Osss Exxxx.

 

[dpaanlka]

U should do a survey, since many of our new intel recruits probably don't know that Mac OS hasn't always been this pretty!

Geez how fast did you post to not notice it?

Technically you are right. Technically does it matter?

Let the people say "oh ess ex" if they want. I don't think any harm will come of it.

Who said anything about harm

EDIT: Hah, I got you before your edit.

Im new to Mac but I rember 9.0 from Elementary and Middle School. Wasn't nearly as pretty as OS X. I even rember 8.5 from elementary school. Those were the good old days. lol.

Not me.

 

[iBookG4user]

I knew Mac OS 9 existed long ago, I even remember using the old Apple ][e that my parents still have.

 

[smueboy]

I still use OS 9 on one of my computers at work (G3).

makes you appreciate X though.

 

[Thomas Veil]

I used 8.5 too.

It wasn't that long ago that we went to X.

 

[Benjamin]

I knew Mac OS 9 existed since it was suppose to be Mac OS 8.7.

 

[leekohler]

I started on system 7.

 

[Bibulous]

I can even 'dual boot' into OS 9

 

[0007776]

I knew that it existed, but I have never used it I started with OS X v. 10.2.x.

 

[pseudobrit]

I started on system 7.

I remember waiting for System 7.

 

[Benjamin]

I remember waiting for System 7.

Same, we used to have a SE and were just waiting till the day the next macintosh line with color came along with System 7.

 

[Kashchei]

I still have the System 1.0 disk that shipped with my original 128K Mac!

 

[halfprep455]

I just sold an ols Powerbook 5300 with System 7.5 on it on ebay. I found the thing buried in the attic. Oldly enough it still worked and someone actually bought it for $30.

 

[iJon]

Sure do. I'm 21 and my first Mac was at age 4. I can probably remember and use every Mac up to this point. I was the only one in my family who popped in that Mac OS 10.0 CD and learned what the OS was about. Man was it pointless but sure was pretty .

[dllavaneras]

Sure! I run Wolfenstein 3D on it

 

[Nermal]

I started with 6 at school. I certainly wasn't Mac knowledgeable back then, but I do remember wondering why MultiFinder was missing from one of the machines I used (it turned out that it was running 7).

 

[fivetoadsloth]

I still use OS 9 on one of my computers at work (G3).

makes you appreciate X though.

Yeah, and system 7 makes you appreciate system 9.

 

[Lord Blackadder]

Started on 6, before that it was ProDOS for me.

Back when I was in 2nd grade which was about 1995-1996, our school still had the old Apple II's for the younger students. I rember the green monotone screen and the big old floppy disks. And I rember they also did NOT have a mouse. lol.
