That I can explain. I discovered that Steve Jobs waits for no system programmer. :-)
During the mid-80s, he was demonstrating and selling the first NExT cubes on the Princeton campus, before the OS even ran. "Probably just a race condition somewhere." (Perhaps he was hoping a buyer would fix it for him. :-)
So, I'm not surprised he was selling MacOSX 10.1 on Macs before it ran. (MacOSX 10.2 ran fast and flawlessly on my G3 iBook. It never once crashed.) Notice one always sees 10.2 as a supporting OS, but never 10.1. It even came with a great encyclopedia, which we weren't told would disappear with an upgrade. :-(
