5. OS X is Apple's operating system that runs on Macintosh computers. It was first released in 2001 and over the next
few years replaced Mac OS 9 (also known as Mac OS Classic) as the standard OS for Macs. It was called "Mac OS X"
until version OS X 10.8, when Apple dropped "Mac" from the name.
6. In 2012, with the release of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, the name of the system was shortened
from Mac OS X to OS X.
Apple's new user interface design, using deep color saturation, text-only buttons and a minimal,
'flat' interface, was debuted with iOS 7 in 2013.
The version released in 2013, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, was something of a transitional release, with
some of the skeuomorphic design removed, while most of the general interface of Mavericks
remained unchanged.
The next version, OS X 10.10 Yosemite, adopted a design similar to iOS 7 but with greater
complexity suitable for an interface controlled with a mouse.

that are stored in an NFS folder may not always be
recognized by a Mac client immediately
