“For the vast majority of Mac users, the September 13, 2000 appearance of the Mac OS X Public Beta was the first glimpse of Apple’s attempt to produce a modern operating system. Hop in the Classic.Ars time machine and check out John Siracusa’s original review of the Mac OS X Public Beta.” I’ve read all Siracusa’s Mac OS X reviews in one day once. Very much worth it.
If I was paying attention to this even then I would have asked for a color choice in theme. I remember all the color choices I had with classic even though I was in middle school then. I would pick though them and change them according to the background I picked out that day. <sigh>
John Siracusa’s OS X reviews are probably the best technical articles on the web. I too have done Siracusa’s-OS X-reviews marathons in the past, but I’m not sure if I’ve read all of them in one day.
In fact, although I use a mac, I can say that I love OS X’s point releases for Siracusa’s reviews as much as the actual software.
