My short affair with Pascal ended when I saw what it was going to take to write Pascal apps for the current Apple graphical OS. It was then I realized I would never develop in a full blown compilter based system as I simply didn't have the time. Bob S On Oct 31, 2015, at 12:40 , J. Landman

I only tried in LC 6.6.2 and then LC 7.0.1 (the only Mac versions I have installed). The sad thing (to me) is that even in Windows, I was forced to use the little corner resize thingie, even though EVERY OTHER application had edge resizing. It wasn't until Apple adopted the feature that it was

Re: Chromebook deployment...

Think bigger (or smaller). Your computer is in your pocket. It connects wirelessly and adapts to the display and input devices around you. Until that happens, merging OS X and iOS won’t work. They are close enough (under the hood) that there’s no real impediment to merging them now, but there

I think you may be right it's a regional thing. I checked my archives again and I have no version 4. It goes from 3 to 5. I'm looking at the official Apple developer CD that contains all historical operating systems. On November 1, 2015 8:20:18 AM CST, Colin Holgate

Re: Chromebook deployment...

I was hired by Apple in October 1987 because they lacked Apple II knowledge in tech support, but I would still have to answer calls not knowing what the topic was going to be. One conversation with an Apple dealer went like this: dealer: “what’s the current version of Finder?” me to dealer:

Colin, we might have run into each other in the early Apple days. I did many demos for dealers for Adobe Illustrator (v1), Mathematica (on Mac and Next), Textures (tex on Mac) and even HyperCard. On 1 November 2015 at 14:20, Colin Holgate wrote: > I was hired by Apple in

While multifinder was pausing an application to bring another application to the foreground, the Amiga computer was already doing true multi-tasking. It still makes me sad that the management of Commodore had no idea of what they were selling, and therefore could not market it properly. Even in

I didn't mean to imply that Apple's (future, potential) effort would ape Microsoft's work. I just listed MS's effort because it's a concrete example of the issues I see. The rest of your post seems to be implying that your version of a hybrid OS would largely resemble iOS, but with some
