Found Footage: OS 9's funeral

Ah, a walk down memory lane. Sit back and watch his Steveness conduct OS 9's funeral at 2002's WWDC.

I hope they have a similar happening for the death of the PPC. We all will mourn.

My office still uses Candy iMacs running OS 9 (really). a morning of dealing with that and I want to shoot myself. Almost as bad, I also have to suffer through semi computer-literate PC-heads saying "I hate Macs!" every 10 minutes or so.

OS 9 always felt faster than OS X until you had to manually allocate more memory to a program lest it would simply stop working, or until you got a 'you need to restart' prompt that hard-locked the machine when you clicked 'restart'.

11. If you are into Torrents check this out. Haven't tried it and it has all kinds of screwy codecs but it looks somewhat promising for the content you asked for?

wowza, i always wanted to see this. YouTube's pretty funky?

Does anyone have a big shed load of Keynotes. I too would like to see the OS X intro.

Where's the part after that? I'd be more interested in seeing them introduce OS X.

apple won't push out universal binaries to force us to buy new macs. that's just not their way. It took apple a 2 years to decided to drop support for it. No one is gonna give up on X on PPC because it's not a separate process. It's 1 simple checkbox to create a Universal app. So don't fear OSX on PPC and Intel is here to stay.

this is great. I was at WWDC and got to see the real thing, brings back memories.. Although I did like OS 9 very much, OS X is infinitely better!

osx apps are now universal, there is no intel only build avalable. http://www.apple.com/universal/applications/ for more information.
