Relic Stickies


It's very peculiar that we have a ten year old sticky shipped with OS X Tiger in 2006.

1997 was a pivotal year in Apple's history, NeXT was acquired by Apple in Feburary 1997 along with Jobs' return. At the 1997 Macworld conference, which is in August, announcement was made of the Microsoft deal and the new board (The Mac Observer: July, 1997 Archive). However, the first version of OS X is released two years later, Server 1.0, which is the old Platinum interface on top of the OPENSTEP operating system from NeXT; and the consumer version, 10.0, another two years later in 2001 after a public beta. The developers probably wrote the sticky just days before the Macworld, and in the early stage of building os x on top of OPENSTEP.

Interestingly, the classic Mac OS 8 was released just three days before the sticky, on July 26th 1997.
