Mac OS 9 was a friend to us all…
He worked tirelessly on our behalf
always hosting our applications
never refusing a command
Always at our beckoned call,
except ocassionally,
when He forgot who He was
and needed to be restarted
Mac OS 9 came into this world
in October of 1998,
for suggested retail price of 99 Dollars
and was perhaps the best internet OS of his generation.
Hundreds of retailers held special midnight madnesses
to celebrate his birth
He was mentor to many younger technologies
including Sherlock, Keychain and Auto-Updating.
He helped make them into what they are today.
He was a humble guy, too.
Though He was fully optimized
to take advantage of the G4's incredible performance.
He never once flaunted his power with a start menu.
We are here to moan the passing of Mac OS 9
He is now in the great bit bucket in the sky.
No doubt looking down upon us
with that same smile he displayed
every time he booted.
Mac OS 9 is survived by his next generation, Mac OS X
and thousands of applications, most of them legitimate.
Please join me in a moment of silence
as we remember our old friend
Mac OS 9
