macintosh file system
(foldoc) | Macintosh file system
data fork
desktop database
resource fork
A file on the Macintosh consists of two parts,
called forks. The "data fork" contains the data which would
normally be stored in the file on other operating systems.
The "resource fork" contains a collection of arbitrary
attribute/value pairs, including program segments, icon
bitmaps, and parametric values. Yet more information
regarding Macintosh files is stored by the Finder in a
hidden file, called the "Desktop Database".
Because of the complications in storing different parts of a
Macintosh file in non-Macintosh file systems that only handle
consecutive data in one part, it is common to only send the
Data fork or to convert the Macintosh file into some other
format before transferring it.

macintosh ii
(foldoc) | Macintosh II
Mac II
(Mac II) A version of Apple's Macintosh
personal computer, released in March 1987, using the
Motorola 68020 CPU, which runs at a higher clock rate
than the Motorola 68000 used in the original Mac. The Mac
II has a full 32-bit data bus instead of a 16-bit bus. Mac II
models have built-in 40 to 160 megabyte hard disks and can
take up to eight megabytes of RAM (and more as denser memory
chips arive).
The Mac II was the first Macintosh to provide a colour
graphics option, with up to 256 colours on screen at a 640x480
resolution. Mac II models are designed for expandability with
three (Macintosh IIcx) or six (II & IIx) built-in NuBus
expansion slots for additional peripheral and
coprocessor boards.

Mac IIcx
(Mac IIcx) A version of Apple's Macintosh II
personal computer, introduced in 1989, with a {Motorola
68030} processor running at 16 MHz and up to 128 MB of RAM
(120 ns, 30-pin DRAM chips). The IIcx requires System 6.0.3
or later and requires "Mode 32" or "32-bit Enabler" to use
more than 8MB of RAM. It was discontinued 1991, and in 1996
is still considered one of the best-designed Macs ever.

macintosh operating system
(foldoc) | Macintosh Operating System
Mac OS
(Mac OS) Apple Computer, Inc.'s
proprietary operating system for their Macintosh family of
personal computers.
The part of the operating system that simulates the desktop is
called "Finder." The multitasking version of Finder was
called "MultiFinder" until multitasking was integrated
into the core of the OS with the introduction of System 7.0 in
1990.
The Macintosh series provides a built-in graphics language,
called "QuickDraw", which provides a standard for software
developers.
Mac OS 8, scheduled for delivery in July 1997, included new
human-interface features, increased system stability and
performance, a PowerPC processor-native Finder, tighter
integration of Internet access through panel-based
"assistants," Personal Web Sharing and the ability to run
Java applets and programs through Mac OS Run Time for
Java. Version 9.2 was the last version of the bespoke Mac
OS. The next version, Mac OS X is quite different, being
based on Unix.

macintosh user interface
(foldoc) | Macintosh user interface
The graphical user interface used by
Apple Computer's Macintosh family of personal computers,
based on graphical representations of familiar office objects
(sheets of paper, files, wastepaper bin, etc.) positioned on a
two-dimensional "desktop" workspace.
Programs and data files are represented on screen by small
pictures (icons). An object is selected by moving a mouse
over the real desktop which correspondingly moves the
pointer on screen. When the pointer is over an icon on
screen, the icon is selected by pressing the button on the
mouse.
A hierarchical file system is provided that lets a user
"drag" a document (a file) icon into and out of a folder
(directory) icon. Folders can also contain other folders and
so on. To delete a document, its icon is dragged into a
trash can icon. For people that are not computer
enthusiasts, managing files on the Macintosh is easier than
using the MS-DOS or Unix command-line interpreter.
The Macintosh always displays a row of menu titles at the top
of the screen. When a mouse button is pressed over a title, a
pull-down menu appears below it. With the mouse button held
down, the option within the menu is selected by pointing to it
and then releasing the button.
Unlike the IBM PC, which, prior to Microsoft Windows had
no standard graphical user interface, Macintosh developers
almost always conform to the Macintosh interface. As a
result, users are comfortable with the interface of a new
program from the start even if it takes a while to learn all
the rest of it. They know there will be a row of menu options
at the top of the screen, and basic tasks are always performed
in the same way. Apple also keeps technical jargon down to a
minimum.
Although the Macintosh user interface provides consistency; it
does not make up for an application program that is not
designed well. Not only must the application's menus be clear
and understandable, but the locations on screen that a user
points to must be considered. Since the mouse is the major
selecting method on a Macintosh, mouse movement should be kept
to a minimum. In addition, for experienced typists, the mouse
is a cumbersome substitute for well-designed keyboard
commands, especially for intensive text editing.
Urban legned has it that the Mac user interface was copied
from Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center. Although it is
true that Xerox's smalltalk had a GUI and Xerox introduced
some GUI concepts commercially on the Xerox Star computer in
1981, and that Steve Jobs and members of the Mac and Lisa
project teams visited PARC, Jef Raskin, who created the Mac
project, points out that many GUI concepts which are now
considered fundamental, such as dragging objects and pull-down
menus with the mouse, were actually invented at Apple.
Pull-down menus have become common on IBM, Commodore and
Amiga computers. Microsoft Windows and OS/2
Presentation Manager, Digital Research's GEM,
Hewlett-Packard's New Wave, the X Window System, {RISC
OS} and many other programs and operating environments also
incorporate some or all of the desktop/mouse/icon features.
Apple Computer have tried to prevent other companies from
using some GUI concepts by taking legal action against them.
It is because of such restrictive practises that organisations
such as the Free Software Foundation previously refused to
support ports of their software to Apple machines, though this
ban has now been lifted. [Why? When?]

power macintosh
(foldoc) | Power Mac
Power Macintosh
Apple Computer's personal computer based on the
PowerPC, introduced on 1994-03-14.
The Power Mac G4 (Quicksilver 2002) was the first Power Mac to
clock at 1 GHz. In mid-2003, the Power Mac G5 was released,
the first Mac to be based on a 64-bit architecture. IBM
manufactured the CPU for this new model. The clock speed was
initially 1.6 GHz but a dual 2 GHz system was available in
September. Existing 680x0 code (both applications and
device drivers) run on Power Mac systems without modification
via a Motorola 68LC040 emulator. The performance of these
unmodified applications is equivalent to a fast 68040-based
Macintosh, e.g. a fast Macintosh Quadra.
The Power Mac runs Macintosh operating system from {System
7.5} to Mac OS 8.5.
