Mac System Software 1.0 1983-08-08 build is a build of Mac System Software 1.x.

New features and changes[edit | edit source]

  • Replaced the Flounder user interface with the Finder. The Finder identifies itself as Finder 1.6 in this build. Just like earlier builds, it uses the @ symbol in place of the Apple logo.
  • This build contains a prototype of "MacPaint" dated 1983-08-16, and is version 0.5.
  • The "Special" menu is called "Arrange" in this build. There are options in the "Arrange" menu which did not persist into the final build.
  • The Key Caps desktop accessory is called KeyBoard.

Findings[edit | edit source]

  • Drag & Drop has not been implemented yet, same for moving files on the desktop and renaming them. The user needs to use the "Interim" menu to rename files.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

  • There is a strange "Anonymous" disk on the desktop which has no files or folders in it.
