OS X 10.1 - ~10.4 had a different root directory structure. Right click menu is unrecognizable. Dock behaves a bit different. The Directory Access utility (renamed to Directory Utility) contained Netinfo, the local directory, I believe sourced from NeXTStep. Lots of various other utilities were discontinued or changed into something unrecognizable.
