Mac System 7 simulation in Flash

[odin]

Neat stuff :-).

For those wanting to see a Windows simulation: here. (That's a very old flash though, you've prolly seen it).

That's fantastic. :-)

I had a Mac that ran this OS... It was given to me.  I ended up snatching the 500MB SCSI drive out of it for use in an Amiga and tossing the rest of it.  Don't hate me for this but I find the Mac OS incredibly boring  :juggler:

Amen. IMO, MacOS has always been the *most* overhyped system in existance.

I'm forced to work with OSX in my new job. The people I work for are total mac fanatics.

OK, it is based on FreeBSD and has a proper multitasking kernel. Well done Apple, you finally joined the truly pre-emptive kernel world.

Unfortunately, it keeps the MacOS tradition of treating you as if you are a moron. Every control dumbed down as far as they can.

OK, so OSX has a lot of eye candy, but Im having to use it on a G3 500 iMac. So I turned some of the effects down.

Hunting around the control panels I began to realise how annyoing it can be. For example, I wanted to change the highlight text colour so it appears inverted - all I could find is how to set the background colour of highlighted text. I'm colour blind and this is not good enough.

Later, after a few crahses I also realised it isn't the super stable system it is supposed to be.

Frankly, after all the hype I was woefully dissapointed in OSX. A bad unix clone with a hollywood GUI :-/

AmigaOS still reigns king :-)

So dude, which do you hate most: Linux, Windows or MacOS? ;-)

Jeez, you got me! I'm just a grumpy old fart - never satisfied :-D

I do actually like plenty about each OS (although it's hard to find things to like about windows). It's just that I like to gripe about the parts that annoy me :-D

Even AmigaOS itself irritates me in places (mostly from a developer perspective though) but on the whole, I find AmigaOS a lot less annoying to use. It gives you a comfortable level of customisibility and it's logically structured. You know what goes where and why, how things interact and how to fix stuff should you inadvertantly mess it up.
