OS 9 was dead to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of its burial was signed by Steve jobs himself.

I was there at W.W. D.C. in San Jose and I saw it. MacOS 9 was dead as a doornail.

Then it was that Mike and Jason began their preparations for the Christmas holiday.

A podcast feast was intended and all for them.

But when they entered the hallowed halls of Relay FM, they discovered something strange.

There was nothing at all particular about the upgrade podcast logo except that it was very large.

But let anyone explain to us, if they can, how it happened that what we saw in our podcast player of choice was without it undergoing

any immediate process of change, not an upward pointing arrow, but Stephen Hackett's face.

I am the ghost of Apple Past.

Long past?

No, you already said that MacoS 9 was dead.

So it must be MacO. It's just called Maco's nine was dead. So it must be Maco's 10's past. It's just called Maco

now. Okay, so maybe just Apple's recent... What what what are you doing with this

ridiculous intro? It's the upgrade holiday special! I am Stephen Hackett and I am the ghost of Apple Past.

Stephen, do you have something wrong with your throat?

Is there something going on there?

Yeah.

I'm good to go now.

Good to go.

I feel like we've finally given you the role that you've always wished for.

Honestly I'm going to retire after this episode goes out.

Oh strange visitor from the past what message do you have for us?
