Special Menu (Mac OS) - System 6

System 6

In System 6 the Special menu allowed the user to choose an alternate startup program to be run instead of the Finder at boot time. This feature was replaced in System 7 by the Startup Items folder in the System Folder.

Famous quotes containing the word system:

    “The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
