The “Print Directory…” command made its first appearance in System Software 6. Renamed “Print Window” in later versions of Mac OS, this command could be used to print the contents of a Finder window. It was removed with the advent of Mac OS X, but can be restored using this free utility. It is funny to think of Mac users referring to their folders as directories.
System Software 6.0.8 supports four Apple branded printers out of the box, each with its own options and preferences. Here is the page dialog box with the Apple LaserWriter selected.
The original LaserWriter was released in 1985. Being the key feature of the "Macintosh Office" it was targeted at small businesses. Another feature of the Macintosh Office was Apple's new AppleTalk LAN technology making the LaserWriter Apple's first network printer. Just like Macintosh in 1984, the Macintosh Office was announced with a commercial during the fourth quarter of SuperBowl XIX ('Lemmings'). Worth approx. $7,000 U.S. the LaserWriter was in comparison with the competition rather inexpensive.
The 77 lbs. LaserWriter could print eight 300 DPI pages per minute with a 12 MHz Motorola 68000 processor and half a megabyte of RAM.
A look at Find File in action.
Find File in System Software 6 is a far cry from [Sherlock](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_%28software%29) and [Spotlight,](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlight_%28software%29) and leaves a lot to be desired. You could search for a file by name on any mounted volume or destination and move it to the desktop. You couldn't even open what you were looking for from the Find File dialog box.
The Chooser got a facelift in System 6 that would be the basis for its appearance all the way through Mac OS 9.
The modular design of the System Software 6 Control Panel leaves a lot of negative space. A choice of alert sounds, the Susan Kare volume selector, and a whole lot of wasted space.
The modular design of the System Software 6 Control Panel leaves a lot of negative space. Double-click speed is a preference created outside of necessity. You either know how to double-click at the proper speed or you don't. Who double-clicks slowly these days, and if they did would they know a preference for double-clicking exists?
The modular design of the System Software 6 Control Panel leaves a lot of negative space. Back in the day there were only two types of keyboards, “domestic” and “international.” Hard to know which keyboard you are using when living internationally. I always thought where you live is the domestic.
