Pavel Jelic I-Apple yasungulwa ngo-1976, okuyiminyaka ehloniphekile engu-44 edlule. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, wabhekana nazo zonke izinhlobo zokwehla nokwenyuka. Njengamanje, umdondoshiya waseCalifornia ubalwa phakathi kwezinkampani ezibaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni, futhi kusobala ngandlela thize ukuthi kuzoba phakathi kwalezi zinkampani esikhathini esizayo futhi. Esihlokweni sanamuhla, sizobuyela emuva eminyakeni engu-23, okungukuthi ku-1997. Kulo nyaka, i-Apple yakhipha uhlelo olusha lokusebenza ngaleso sikhathi lwe-Mac OS 8, lapho abasebenzisi bathola khona izinto ezintsha ezihlukahlukene kanye neminye imisebenzi emikhulu. Nokho, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi yonke intuthuko ye-Mac OS 8 ngandlela-thile ayizange ihambe ngokuphelele ngokuvumelana nokulindela.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Zonke izici ezintsha i-Apple ezengezwe ku-Mac OS 8 zenzelwe ikakhulukazi i-Copland OS ezayo. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza lwaluzosetshenziswa i-Apple kuwo wonke amadivayisi azayo. Nokho, ngemva kwesikhathi eside, ukuthuthukiswa kwalesi simiso kuyekwa ngenxa yezinkinga eziningi ezazilokhu zivela. Ukuphela kokuthuthukiswa kwe-Copland OS kungenye yokwehluleka okukhulu emhlabeni wezobuchwepheshe bolwazi. Ngakho-ke inkampani yakwa-Apple yaqhubeka nokuthuthukisa iMac OS yakudala, ekhona nathi kuze kube manje. Inguqulo yanamuhla ye-macOS ihlukile ezinguqulweni zangempela ngezindlela eziningi. Uma ubuzibuza ukuthi enye yezinguqulo ezindala, ngokwesibonelo iMac OS 8, ibukeka kanjani, futhi uma ungathanda ukuyizama, khona-ke ulungile lapha. Umthuthukisi u-Felix Rieseberg udale i-emulator ekhethekile ebizwa ngokuthi macintosh.js, ebhalwe ngokuphelele kuJavaScript. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza lufana nekhompyutha ye-Macintosh Quadra 900 Apple enephrosesa ye-Motorola esebenzisa i-Mac OS 8. Amaphrosesa e-Motorola asetshenziswe i-Apple ngaphambi kokuthi ashintshele kumaphrosesa e-PowerPC.
Ngalesi silingisi, esitholakala ezinguqulweni zamanje ze-macOS, Windows ne-Linux, ungazama iMac OS 8 ngaphandle kwezinkinga. Okudingayo uhlelo lokusebenza macintosh.js futhi kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi asikho isidingo sokufaka noma yini. Njengengxenye yokulingisa i-Mac OS 8, uzothola imidlalo eminingi nezinhlelo zokusebenza ongazidlala noma uzame ngaphandle kwezinkinga. Ngokuqondile, emkhakheni wemidlalo, isibonelo uDuke Nukem 3D, Civilization II, Dungeons & Dragons, okungukuthi, Oregon Trail, Alley 19 Bowling and Damage Incorporated, esimweni sezinhlelo zokusebenza ungabheka phambili ku-Photoshop 3, Premiere 4, Illustrator. 5.5 noma i-StuffIt Expander. Kukhona ne-Internet Explorer yakudala eyenzelwe ukuphequlula amawebhusayithi. Kodwa inguqulo yayo isiphelelwe yisikhathi, ngakho-ke ngeke ukwazi ukuxhuma noma yikuphi uyisebenzisa kulezi zinsuku. Lonke lolu hlelo lokusebenza aluvunyelwe yi-Apple nganoma iyiphi indlela futhi luhloselwe izinjongo zemfundo kuphela. Esikhathini esedlule, u-Felix Rieseberg naye wapakisha isicelo ngendlela efanayo Windows 95. Ungadawuniloda uhlelo lokusebenza usebenzisa isixhumanisi esingezansi, bese uvele uskrolele ezansi engxenyeni ethi Okulandiwe ekhasini bese ukhetha ukuthi iyiphi inguqulo ofuna ukuyidawuniloda isistimu yokusebenza.
