I don't recall it being snappy and I also recall it being crashy. But it was a lot better than what came before it. Given the hibernation Apple was in at the time, it was the best alternative. Between the 95 launch and OS X 10.3 was the only time I used Windows as my daily driver.

> Given the hibernation Apple was in at the time, System 7 and Mac OS 8 were pretty good from a UI perspective, but no memory protection and no preemptive multi tasking was not great. For a long time "MacOS 9" was synonymous with classic Mac, but I always remember 8 being the last tolerable one, by the time 9 came around the foundations were more clearly inadequate, it was like the WinME of Mac OS, tiding over until OS X. > OS X 10.3 Yes. I remember some commentary on the first few versions of OS X was that they were resource hogs.

it was a lot worse than the sgi workstations i was using in 01994 also, it was a lot worse than the bsdi bsd/os ("bsd/386") workstations in the same room with them, and those were the same hardware win95 ran on. and it was a lot worse than my friend's linux box
