OS 9 Vs OS 10 Part 1


2m read
·Nov 3, 2024

Mac heads 101 here today. This is OS 9 versus OS 10, part one.

So, right here I have my OS 9 machine running. I've got a crap keyboard, crap mouse here. So, I'm just going to give you a little insight into the OS 9 system. We have some icons just like normal. You have a recycle bin; you have the nice, at the top here, this is not a camera; it's just a dent in the computer because I screwed up. And, um, a CD drive right here, power button. This is my iMac running OS 9.

So, at the top, there's the little colored Apple symbol. It has the normal menu. You can even click the "About this Mac" or "About this computer" thing, and it's a Windows. It has Windows in it—not the operating system Windows by Microsoft, but it's a multi-window thing. So you can have this window open here, you can minimize this window, you can do whatever. You can't actually minimize; it just makes it just the title bar. There's no place in the dock for it to go. The dock is strictly right here for your most recently used applications.

So, let's close the dock menu right here. Mac OS X, or you know OS 9, is taking 27.3 megabytes out of this 300 megabyte hard disk, 64 megabytes of RAM. It's a very crappy computer. And, um, so you can make new folders on the desktop. You can go up into Microsoft Word. All the software on this is, um, Microsoft. Like, there was no Safari; you used Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook. You know, except for iMovie, all the software on this is basically Windows and Microsoft. But iMovie sucks.

And there's a time and date menu on the top bar and a Finder menu on the top bar. It's actually pretty cool. The Finder menu has all the applications that are running. You can switch between applications and windows; you can browse Macintosh HD if you want to take a look at all the applications, you know? All this stuff—there's Microsoft software in the applications. You can move around windows; that's pretty simple, but it was cool back then.

So this is a very crappy operating system with folders. No users remember—this is not Unix. Before OS 10, every OS that Apple made was not Unix. So, there's no terminal, no single user mode, or anything. So, if there's anything you'd like me to see, you'd like to see me do on this, just comment on my video. We can Apple Q and Apple space bar still work; like, all the Apple keystrokes are still there.

You can create a new folder—no right click button, though—so I just made a folder, which I can then drag stuff into or delete the folder. So, um, yeah, part one and part two, I'm going to be showing you the Mac OS, some stuff about that that's different than this.

So, um, goodbye. Subscribe to Mac heads on1 and watch part two of this video.
