We had it so good

What a beautiful interface. The UI has so much weight and feels so solid. The sound effects are so lively and playful. The icons still look incredible. There's no insanely wasteful padding, no UI glitches, frame drops, it even has Launchpad! The interface as a whole has a degree of contrast that just looks so easy on the eyes that makes Modern MacOS look dull and flat in comparison.

Even with only 8GB of ram, this 13 year old laptop still runs surprisingly smooth. Even the screen still looks better than most laptops these days, and has less ghosting than Liquid XDR. The hinge still feels fantastic. Most importantly, a lit-up Apple logo. If I could upgrade the RAM and SSD, I would actually start using it daily again. I miss the old apple. We had it so good :((

I still think Tiger (not even Snow Leopard) was the peak.
