  That’s anachronistic. For example you’d say macOS Tahoe but Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS 9.1.

    While we are on the subject it is also worth pointing out additionally: When saying Mac OS X, it’s pronounced Mac OS ten, not Mac OS ex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHrVGk0WwYM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHrVGk0WwYM

      "Mac? Oh, Sex!" is how everyone pronounces it. Very few people "properly" say Mac Oh Ess Ten.

        No, that's what perverts do with the Darwin native executable format.

    And going back a little further, I believe it was "System 7.5.5" etc. until Mac OS 8.5 or so?

The HN story autoformatter changes titlecase on well known terms, which I'm betting is what happened here.
- kergonath 6mo ago

This is correct, and interestingly enough in one of the screenshots, the OpenFirmware prompt says "To continue booting the MacOS" too. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHe2b6fvQudwoBr98FbbRinx4hAZryqGHcILhVUiJ5kXJLuYkuAMprpf-zpVD43mWyhtZwVpcw-QmIoKmVrTtcjXSLV6NYzgHV10njOSduioFLzGdOZkty2T3FGqQyQIfP5-cMNg1MlGvcGrqWCr5VfKgke7dPK7cXB688OTRfc-M_0g68XW0CRYogrGs/s4080/PXL_20260502_014813024.jpg https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh...
