Mac is a popular OS that keeps coming up with new updates to improve the user experience. Mojave is the newest update.

The latest benefits of the Mac OS

You will get some handy benefits free of charge. Besides the obvious advantages, there are covert improvements that will boost your Mac.

If you’re a user of Mac OS, upgrading to the Mojave version is the logical next step. The only thing you should worry about is to update your apps, as the old versions won’t work on Mojave.

The most significant changes in the newest version relate to aesthetics. With Mojave, you can mute the colors of the interface, so you don’t find yourself blinded when working at night thanks to the Dark Mode. Furthermore, the Dynamic Desktop feature changes the image on your desktop to match the time of the day.

As an operating system, Mac OS has always tried to make things sleek and minimalist on your desktop. However, in the older versions, the sync between Mac and iPhone led to a lot of clutter. To counter that, Apple added Desktop Stacks to make your desktop organized according to the criteria you desire.

These, and many more features allow Mac users to enjoy an even sleeker operating system. Another thing that draws attention is an improvement in Continuity - the connection between the phone and the computer. In general, the newest version of the operating system brings everything the users loved in the previous versions - only enhanced.

Is there a better alternative?

No. Unless you rely too heavily on old apps without new updates, Mojave is a logical extension of your current user experience.

Where can you run this program?

Mac Mojave runs on Mac computers featuring an OS X 10.8 and later versions.

Our take

This new update took the best features and improved them. There are no obvious drawbacks, Mojave does its job, and it does it properly.

Should you download it?

This tip of a method of obtaining the downloads was suggested by sdfox7. Special thanks to them for decoding

how to discover old downloads.

Locate the support.apple.com website for the download. In the case of most of the system downloads for Mac OS 9, there is this link:

Download Mac Os X 9

and

In event the link doesn't work, go to http://web.archive.org/ to find it. For this link, the example site is:

If you are looking for the 9.2.2 download, the direct link from that page is

Clicking through

Mac Os 9.0 Iso

First on the page you will find North American English, 9.2.2, 21.3MB.

When you right click, or control-mouse button the download link and select copy link, you obtain:

Edit this link to reveal just the file name and not the path going to it and paste it in your favorite search engine. In this case, the file name is:

Mac_OS_9.2.2_Update.smi.bin

Searching you'll find that this link has that download.

As it happens, the website:

has the download links for all the Mac OS 9 updates and others.

You can use a similar method for many other downloads of older software.

As I also found out, .bin files even Mac OS X 10.9 understands. .smi files Disk utility won't open in Mac OS X 10.9, but it will convert to .dmg files.

If you copy the contents to a USB Flash drive of the same name as the dmg file (without the suffix), it can hold the installer in question and connect older Mac OS 9 machines to run the installer from. Just make sure the USB drive is formatted HFS+ no journaling, or FAT16 and under 4GB in size.

The other thing to note, is that no Mac running Mac OS X 10.3 or higher supports the old style floppy disks of under 1.4 MB. The beige PowerMacs were the last that supported the 800k floppies with the single notch on the the corner. If you have floppies with two notches on either corner of the label, then they are 1.4 MB.

1.4 MB floppy looks like:

400k and 800k floppy look like:

Note how the 800k only has one notch for the write protect tab, and no other opening on the other corner.
