When I got into Mac's OS 7 was already out. Therefore I first started on it and did a ton of tech support for the local ISP as one of the few Mac techs they had. When OS 8 was launched my employer bought all the Mac guys a copy of it so we could run it at home and play around with it and also we dual booted our work machines with it and System 7.
Throughout my formative years as a Mac guy I always thought that OS 8 was the best OS out there (Unless we're talkin' UNIX or NT, then it didn't come up in conversation). I though that Platinum UI was a thing of beauty, HFS+ was not only a requirement but even on smaller HD's made more efficient use of data chunks.
I will always have a place in my heart for OS 8 because it is Insanely Great!
