In some cases I could come no closer to the correct date than the year in which it happened.
The dates given for the various entries found here are as accurate as I can make them, based on the sources cited in the footnotes that follow. I went through the PowerPC-to-x86 transition, and it wasn't the problem you describe.The Apple II Timeline gives an overview of many of the events mentioned in the Apple II History, as well as some others that are not discussed.

Nobody was forced to toss out their old hardware or software - keep using the older hardware until whenever you would buy your next machine anyway.

They put systems in place where programs could be compiled for both platforms and run on either, without emulation ("fat" binaries - essentially code for multiple computer architectures in the same file). The point being, you presented some valid data (a list of processors Apple has used over the last 40 years), then used that to paint an incredibly skewed view of history ( that is what I meant by revisionist history), making it sound as though Apple kept changing their minds, capriciously taking their customers on a whirlwind tour through different computer architectures at great expense to said customers, when in fact, a) that's spread across 40 years of advances in the computer field, b) you're combining two entirely different product lines, Apple II and Mac, and, c) Apple did a rather spectacular job migrating from 68K to PowerPC and from PowerPC to x86. I mentioned Intel's then-current products and Torvald's age to give some sense of perspective to the events you're trying to lump together. Learn some history.I made no comments about Torvalds age when the Apple II was released.Missing the bigger picture. When the Apple II was released, Intel was selling 8080's - not yet even the very first 8086's - and Linus Torvalds was 6 years old. Every so often, I get annoyed by something that is missing or different in Clang.ĥ) Ditto the above comments for the Xserver (XQuartz).įinally, let me note that the recommendation to run Linux under VM software is a good one, but if you do much low-level stuff (under Linux), you'll start hitting walls.įWIW, I ran a Windows VM under VirtualBox for a long time, but then stopped when I realized it was dogging my system too much (I suppose the fix would have been to add memory, but it wasn't worth the trouble.) Clang may be theoretically better, but I'm used to gcc.

Plus there's the whole clang-vs-gcc thing. It's one more thing you have to make choices about and assemble yourself, as opposed to its already being there.

Yes, I know it can be worked around - in theory, it's just a download away - and yes, I have done so, but it still is annoying. Once you get used to /proc, you really miss it when it's gone.Ĥ) The lack of built-in, ready-to-go dev tools (i.e., C compiler) is annoying. Again, you get used to it, but see the next 3 items.ģ) I'd say the primary thing missing from OSX is Linux's /proc. Like you said, the cut-and-paste "just works", whereas under Linux, it is a PIA (yes, you can get used to it, as I have, but it is still a PIA).Ģ) But conversely, the underlying OS (what you get if you do most of your work in Terminal, as I do), is primitive compared to Linux. For desktop use, putting Linux on it is basically just a way to severely downgrade the agree with most of what you wrote, but I'll add a few observations:ġ) The GUI is so much nicer on the Mac (and I'm not really that much of a GUI person).
But macOS is literally more truly UNIX than Linux is, all certified and everything. To the OP, you can dual-boot Linux on a Mac - similar to but not as painlessly as using Boot Camp to install/dual boot Windows - or you can run Linux under a VM. I presume your vintage IMSAI 8080 is still handling all your daily tasks running CP/M? The Apple II was an unbelievably fantastic machine for its era, which started in the mid 70's. Finally, saved by the bell.Revisionist history at its finest.
Every time they changed, their customers had to buy new software, but this last change means that the underlying system is more or less a PC.

The Intel AMD64 is the processor that Windows 10 most often uses. Stderr wrote:First Apple used a 6502 and that wasn't good enough so they used a 68000 and then that wasn't good enough so they used a PowerPC and then that wasn't good enough so they used an Intel AMD64.
