March 2001: OS X 10.0: Primetime

The time has come, it’s the moment that every classic Mac enthusiast has been waiting for: the release of Mac OS X. We dive into two very different reviews with very similar conclusions. We discuss how user experience paradigmns have changed for computer users over the last 20 years and why old conceptual models of human computer interaction may not be necessary anymore. Josh discusses the merits of native application development, and we lament the user interface choices game designers make in a new segment we like to call: Get off My Lawn (#GOML).
