  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • THE PRES/URRECTION of DEENA LARSEN's “MARBLE SPRINGS, SECOND EDITION” by LEIGHTON L. CHRISTIANSEN THESIS Submitted in Part
    THE PRES/URRECTION OF DEENA LARSEN’S “MARBLE SPRINGS, SECOND EDITION” BY LEIGHTON L. CHRISTIANSEN THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Library and Information Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Associate Professor Jerome McDonough © 2012 Leighton L. Christiansen Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License 2012 Leighton L. Christiansen Abstract The following is a report on one effort to preserve Deena Larsen’s hypertextual poetic work Marble Springs, Second Edition (MS2). As MS2 is based on Apple’s HyperCard, a software program that is no longer updated or supported, MS2, and other works created in the same environment, face extinction unless action is taken. The experiment below details a basic documentary approach, recording functions and taking screen shots of state changes. The need to preserve significant properties is discussed, as are the costs associated with this preservation approach. ii Acknowledgments This project would not have been possible without the help and support of many people. First I have to thank Deena Larsen for entrusting me with “her baby,” Marble Springs, and a number of obsolete Macs. Many thanks to my readers, Jerome McDonough and Matthew Kirschenbaum, who offered helpful insights in discussions and comments. A great deal of appreciation is due to my team of proofreaders, Lynn Yarmey, Mary Gen Davies, April Anderson and Mikki Smith. Anyone who has to try to correct my poor spelling over 3,000 pages deserves an award. Finally, thanks to my classmates, professors, and friends at GSLIS, who listened to me talk on and on about this project, all of whom had to wonder when I would finish.
