Mar 24
I was just reminded that today is OS X’s 5th birthday. Five years ago today, OS X was released to the masses, and oh what a day it was. I think I remember going to TechServe here in NYC and waiting in line to pick up at least 2 copies of the disks; I still have one in its original packaging.
Take a look here to see what that first version looked like. And yes, the Apple menu icon was in the middle of the top menu bar. As I remember, there was no Apple Menu like there is today. Here’s a nice stroll down memory lane from ArsTechnica.com, and the original OS X press release.
It’s funny how dated the first version of OS X looks today.
