In Hindsight Mac OS

Azure HDInsight documentation Azure HDInsight is a managed Apache Hadoop service that lets you run Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Apache Kafka, Apache HBase, and more in the cloud. It arrived on Mac OS X in 2001. In hindsight, Apple’s strategy of focusing on two different operating systems, which would then fold into one, confused people. It seemed especially strange given.

I missed this by a few weeks but wanted to mark the occasion anyway. When Apple released OS X twenty years ago (March 24, 2001) I was there on day one. I‘d actually been running the public beta on my lime green iMac. Exciting days! Like many I really loved the classic Mac OS which I‘d used from 7.x on my Color Classic all the way thru to OS 9. It was a beautiful, fun OS to use when it wasn‘t crashing! To be fair, it was mostly stable and I did a lot with my Macs before OS X. But my oh my, OS X was a thing of beauty! In hindsight we might look back on it as a bit overdone but in the moment I loved it. In the early days it was slow but even then it was fairly stable, especially in comparison to Mac OS 9.

Apple made no secret that OS X was the future of the Mac OS. There would be no turning back and really, it did feel like the future. It was similar enough to the classic Mac OS that one could use it without feeling lost. But, with the new Aqua interface it also felt very different. Add to that the new Finder, the Dock, Mail and a few others. Then there was the new ability to create pdfs from any application via print to pdf which felt a bit like a super power.

Fun fact, in contrast to today‘s free, downloadable os updates, back in those days the os was delivered via DVD and cost a bit, in the case of OS X 10.0 it was $129.

Looking at OS X then and now I am still somewhat astounded by the fact that we‘ve seen so many transitions over the past 20 years. That OS X is the core OS of the watch on my wrist, my phone, and my iPad as well as the Mac on my desk in an amazing iterative achievement. And while the pinstripes of Aqua were transformed into a variety of textures over the years and are now utterly absent, replaced by light grays, whites and subtle gradients, looking at my Mac running macOS Catalina or my iPad running iPadOS 14, I can‘t help but recognize the many persistent similarities. I see OS X on my screen. From the Dock to Mail to Files, traces of OS X in it‘s infancy continue today.

Here‘s Steve Jobs at the MacWorld 2000 Keynote presenting OS X. A really fun video!

Hell Yes !
Tried the 'Classic' version of Quake 1.30 under OS X.1,
threw my monitor into an unuseable mode as well.
Ok -> I got drastic; after a re-install of 10.1 didn't fix the issue
(esp. after trying all the original 'tricks' to restore a useable monitor)
SO - I did a TOTAL clean install. Reformatted the drive, 10.0.4 all the way to 10.1
That fixed it & took plenty of time to do.
And killed my address book/user prefs/dock apps & totchkes
Sigh.
Great tip - tho. Thanks in hindsight.
p.s. Hey Apple, how bout a key combo that 'unconditionally quits the frontmost app
and returns the user to the Finder (ideally in a safe monitor resolution)' for OS X ?
Keying blind really sucks serious ass.

Just as a note, I am having this problem as well and am searching for whether there is a fix or not. Here is some info in case it helps us figure out the real fix:
G4/400 AGP
16MB Rage Pro
704MBs RAM
OS X 10.1 (obviously :^) )
Sony 17' trinitron monitor (and, yes, I need a new one anyway)
--set usually at 1280x768, millions of colors, 75Hz
I have found that the Display panel doesn't show all of the resolutions OS 9.1 shows, and the Hz ratings certainly aren't the same. The odd thing is that the Display menu in the top menubar does seem to show the proper resolutions and refresh rates except that it is still missing 640x480.
When in the Display panel, waiting a short time seems to return the display to its prior settings (probably because of the timed save request). However, a game I ran does not do this. Luckily a CMD-Q took me out of the game and back to the prior screen resolution and desktop, but I'm worried something will leave me hanging like the author of this thread had. I'm glad I can go in through 9.1 and delete that file at least, but it'd be nice to have a bit better display handling.
I look forward to other info others might be able to find or figure out!

If you have more than one machine and they're networked, you can fix this by using a remote control program such as Timbuktu or (my choice) OSXvnc. The nice thing about OSXvnc is that it can be started from the command line. So when I blacked my monitor (by selecting a too high refresh rate, which instantly took effect permanently - argh!), I did the following: SSH'd in from my iBook and launched OSXvnc from the command line (OSXvnc.app -rfbport portnumber). Then I quit the SSH session and launched my VNC client and connected to the now remotely-controllable dead screen Mac. The last step is too open the Displays panel, select a valid refresh rate, and watch the screen come back to life on the Mac. Saves a reboot and keeps that all important 'uptime' stat going ;-). -rob.

If you hold the shift key down at startup, OS X will reset the monitor configuration to a default value. I've added this tip to the main body of this hint, along with the reference to the MacNN forum where it was first discussed. Adding this comment just to move the hint to the top of the 'What's New?' box. :-)

I ran into the 'out ot scan range' problem on my new G4 733 which is hooked up to my old Apple 20' monitor. It took me three hours of researching on the net and trying all sorts of things until I found the trick about deleting the com.apple.windowserver.plist trick. The 'boot with shift key down' solution seems the most elegant solution, but here are two other things I discovered that may help in other scenarios:
1. you can hold dowm command-S on startup to get into console mode before the screen resolution settings are applied.
2. of all the CDs that came with my G4, only the OS 9 Install CD allowed me to get to the desktop where I was able to move the com.apple.windowserver.plist file to another location.

besides
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
I also needed to trash
/Users/[yourusername]/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
com.apple.windowserver.biguglynumber.plist
then it worked fine.
Otherwise the resolution changed back to the invalid just before the
finder finished loading..maybe because of Jaguar, or because I had
auto-logon enabled.
cheers

I have a G3 with unkown speed, ram, HD etc. IT Department just put 10.3.1 on it and after I did security updates, isntalled IE 5.3, Mozilla 1.7.x and the machine restarted itselft the display has never come back up. i've tried to ctrl-s on startup, holding down shift as well to no avail. does anyone have any ideas ? Thanks
