I have uses the newer OS’s of Mac but never the classic series that were numbered.

For those who have used apple computing back in the day, what was it like using it? Was it a lot more snappier and better user interface intuitiveness?

I say this because it always seemed to me that the macintosh operating systems seemed to be more… “smooth sailing” than Bill’s 50/50 BSOD contraptions (Windows ME anyone?)

Obviously things have changed a lot more with newer macos being more fisher priced down in looks but I’d really like to know what you guys thought about OS 8 or 9!

Thank you!

    I learned ProTools and Digital Performer on OS9. It crashed so often we saved very often. God I hated those machines. OS X completely changed the game and absolutely destroyed Windows in stability. I moved from Windows when 10.4 came out and search was amazing. Haven’t liked Windows since. Linux, you’re cool. Anything *nix is really where it’s at.
