And LLMs are still confidently bullshitting: > Everything after that is the interface you remember from a 1984 Macintosh: […] and a dock along the bottom with one tile per running program. In that case I look forward to seeing OS X’s Aqua ported to the IBM PS/2.

If we’re going to be really pedantic, there was no “System 1” as TFA says as well anyway - I don’t think there was an actual “version 1” of the System File version 1, and most of the routines at that point were in ROM. But an LLM would have caught that. Signs of a human touch?

It was developed for the Motorola 68000 microprocessor. System 1 was released on January 24, 1984, along with the Macintosh 128K, the first in the Macintosh family of personal computers. It received one update, "System 1.1" on December 29, 1984, before being succeeded by System 2” That page doesn’t mention it but I think the original Mac shipped with a 0.97 or 0.98 version.

    Watch out for the scare quotes though - it actually did give me the opportunity to check: Finder 1.0 shipped with System file .97, and Finder 1.1 shipped with System file 1.1g - and it looks like “System Software 1.0” actually refers to Finder 5.2/System file 3.1! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS#System_1,_2,_3,_and_4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS#System_1,_2,_3,...
