If you never full screen applications, you're probably an amateur computer user that only has a single monitor. Probably better served by an Ipad.

some applications are good for multiple full screens, I've definitely used illustrator and photoshop full screen on multiple screens

some applications are bad full screen, like chat programs and web browsers since web sites all become awful on 27" screens

some applications are good full screen sometimes and as normal windows sometimes, like text editors

Xcode is preferably better not full screen, but sometimes it depends. basically i like to move my eyes as little as possible, so smaller code window down low is better

this is only true because adobe ported their dumbshit mdi interface from windows to the mac

older versions of photoshop acted like mac apps: you could put windows where you wanted them, they could co-exist easily with other windows (perhaps from another adobe app, what a concept), and you didn't have that ocean of gray blocking everything

6 was great but extremely limited, 7 and 8 were ambitious but ran terribly. iirc, did they even have memory protection down at that point? os9 was where they got it right, and then X was right around the corner

classic mac os has a feature that no other operating system has been able to match

files, folders, and open windows actually stay where you put them and persist across reboots

how is this technology beyond every other operating system

none of them had memory protection, but unless you had 80 system extensions it wasn't that big of a deal most of the time

8.6 was the best classic OS. 9 broke a ton of poo poo and ran like trash on older machines. the only thing I miss from those days is the platinum look and Chicago system font. the biggest problem with classic mac os was the whole coop multitasking garbage. what a terrible system. i remember having to hit cmd+m to window StarCraft so that the next track would play in audion. what a joke.

the control strip was pretty cool too imo.

i'm pretty sure starcraft had a box you could check in the preference that said "allow background programs to run" (or something to that effect)

don't remember anything like this at all. fullscreen games in classic mac os pretty much always took total control.

are you talking about the music in Starcraft that would play off the CD? the game didn't do that itself?

The correct way to play background music on a Mac in those days was to buy one of the DOS compatibles, press the key combination to switch over to the PC side and fire up WinPlay3

Wish you could still buy additional computers on expansion cards instead of using sucky virtual machines

it was in the "launcher" that opened before starcraft (it looked like a regular mac os window with system styled checkbox and radio button preferences) and if you turned that off i'm not sure how you got it back, holding shift on game run maybe? it's been forever since i've played starcraft but i 100% remember that launcher window and i'm 90% sure that was an option

no you can use it the old way if you want, just undock all the palettes from the document window and group then or put them wherever

I’ve found the people who complain the most about adobe apps don’t seem to actually use them
