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 had an ugly old Macintosh and it sucked because nothing I wanted worked on it and none of the things that did work were of any use.

Opposite opinion. It was great for Kid Pix and and After Dark screensaver. Also I was like a little kid and was also easily amused.
