I was seriously shook that thirty-something Millennials you hire these days don't remember the original, pre-OSX Mac OS.

To be fair I think most 30 something millennials likely never interacted with an older Mac long enough to have risked seeing it. Either your parents had to be wealthy or your public school district randomly picked Mac instead of PC (and your teachers actually let you use them).

Mine was seven years old on 9/11, you're a bit more seasoned!

Even with the bugs, that era of Mac had immaculate vibes. It sang out you when it turned on, it was happy and cheery (and unafraid to be those things instead of staid business). You'd get to school excited to use the computer lab even though your dad had a 486SX with Win3.1, cuz KidPix > Solitaire.
