Mac OS X complete collection
Hi all,
Last week was christmas all over again for me! It cost me some money, but I found a big OS X haul on a local auction site:
- Mac OS X Server 1.0 (boxed)
- Mac OS X DP3 (original CD)
- Mac OS X DP4 (original CD)
- Mac OS X Public Beta (original CD)
- Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah (boxed)
- Mac OS X 10.1 Puma (boxed)
- Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar (boxed)
I do own boxes of 10.3, 10.5 and 10.6. Now I only miss a boxed 10.4 Tiger for a complete OS X collection!
I spent a night installing those seven OS X "vintage" versions from Server 1.0 to Jaguar on my B&W G3. So cool, so many memories from the early OS X days, nearly ten years ago. It was the first time I played with Rhapsody, and I kinda like a lot the mixed classic feeling of the UI. It was also the first time I saw the first "square" iteration of the Dock in DP3. That was bad!

Nice! Anyway, you are missing Mac OS X DP1 and DP2

So cool!
Ok, you'll always find people who do have more than you do… Greener grass, they say?
AFAIK, DP1 and DP2 never made it on CD to mainstream developpers. Or did they? I remember seeing a slide in a Steve Jobs' keynote on yYouTube where he showed the roadmap to OS X during the Mac OS X Server 1.0 introduction. So it happened somewhere in 1999, before the developper previews, and it already showed DP3 and DP4 to be release soon, and a public beta release a litte bit later. So my bet is the slide was correct, if only a little bit optimistic in the dates indicated!

Nice find! I would love that Mac OS X Server 1.0 (Rhapsody) disk. I can't seem to find those anywhere.
I need to score a complete set of OS X install discs soon. I have every version of Mac OS from 7.5-9.2.1 and am starting to bring some OS X capable machines back to life and have no OS X discs at all.
