</pointless historical nitpick>
- ben_w 6y agoHuh, TIL. (I only ever used one real 68k Mac, and that was something donated to my school’s art department).
- savoytruffle 6y agoAlso I believe 7.6 updated error reporting to native PPC codes so that a lot of the time an application could just crash on its own without crashing the whole system. Not always, but yeah even without protected memory.
- steviedotboston 6y agoThere was one release of System 7 where they advertised "Type 11 Errors are virtually eliminated!" Imagine that being a selling point in an Apple product today...
