I mean it crashed all the time, and OS X has all this better functionality and everything, but I miss those nice clean fast little windows, no frills, no genie effects and big shiny things. . .
those were the days

Yes os9 never ever crashed on me and I used to hammer out edits on avid in it for hours and hours and hours, the system would be rock solid, unlike today when I use final cut and it decides to quit half way through doing something and etc. etc., when osx cam eout I thought and still think it looks like a kids toy, although it probably is an amazing operating system it still sucks.
- You cannot make an argument that OS9 was more stable.– CyBrain

I prefer command line Operating Systems...there is no need for a GUI.

Did anyone ever work on Illustrator 3? where you had to switch to keyline mode to work, then switch back to 'preview' to see what you'd done. Fantastic.
- yup.. we used to get in shit at school for using gradients because they locked up machines while rendering the preview.– horton

Speaking of command line,
Photoshop CL (Command Line) is the best:
I'm all like:
c:\photoshop\> start magic wand
c:\photoshop\> select object perimeter "square"
c:\photoshop\> end magic wand
c:\photoshop\> fill selection "#CCCCCC"
c:\photoshop\> save for web "square; qaulity:60"
- HAHAHAHAHAHA– Spookytim
