[QUOTE="technologist, post: 155153, member: 4134"] The later versions of the Classic Mac OS had musical names Mac OS 9 - Sonata Mac OS 8.5 - Allegro Mac OS 8 - Tempo (actual release) Copland - cancelled; would have been Mac OS 8 Gershwin - never developed; was cancelled along with Copland Rhapsody - never released; project eventually became Mac OS X. A few versions had names based on the color of the index cards used in planning the feature sets - Red, Pink, and Blue. Only Mac System 7.0 (Blue, also called Big Bang) actually made it to market. I think Red became Copland. All of these were true code names; as [b]Avalon[/b] said, they were internal names used by the developers until Jaguar made them public. [/QUOTE]
