I'm not one for misplaced nostalgia I have fond memories of installing MS-DOS 6.2.2 on some old hand-me-down PC with a 20MB hard drive at the tender age of 11 or 12, but that doesn't mean I'm interested in trying to do it again. Using Mac OS 9 did not initially seem like such a 'great idea' to me, though. The above is a lightly edited conversation between Senior Reviews Editor Lee Hutchinson and Automotive Editor Jonathan Gitlin in the Ars staff IRC channel on July 22 of 2014. Jonathan: perhaps AndrewC should have to use OS 9 for a day or two ) We're resurfacing his experience from September 2014 for your holiday reading pleasure. But one thing our Andrew Cunningham remains unthankful about is that time we forced him to take an extended dive back into the world of OS 9. It's Thanksgiving, all Ars staff is off, and we're grateful for it (running a site remains tough work).
