[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1828586, member: 396914"] @krs, I have no way of knowing, I couldn't get the system to display anything. It was the very first Mac, 1983 as I recall, and the press was all a-twitter about this new thing. Ads on TV showed it doing all sorts of things. Huge ad based on the book 1984, Steve Jobs waxing poetic about this new thing. I went to a store, gave it a try for about 10 minutes, got NOTHING from the system at all, despite clicking everywhere I could think of on the screen. Absolutely useless. At least on Windows when you clicked on an icon, something happened. Windows was ugly until version 3.1, but at least it worked. EDIT: I went looking. It was most likely System 1. Here is a wikipedia link to it: [B][I][U][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_1]System 1 - Wikipedia[/url][/U][/I][/B] The article says On the unit I tried, none of those menus changed at all. No files, nothing to edit, nothing to view and certainly nothing special. I kept trying for about 10 minutes, as I said, gave up and walked out. Next time I looked at an Apple product was in 2008, when I saw an iMac running Windows. That one got me interested and I eventually moved all in to Apple. [/QUOTE]
