Someone recently gave me an old PowerBook G3, running Mac OS 8.6. I was amazed by how responsive the UI is compared to today's UIs, from Mac to Windows to iOS to Android. When I clicked something, it felt like there was a pushrod between the mouse button and the menu, which triggered it instantly.

- sandyarmstrong 9y agoDid you use OS X prior to 10.2? I guarantee you it was slower and worse in every way. Especially compared to classic. There is a reason they continued installing OS 9 side-by-side before 10.2.
