	Release Mac OS 8.1 and 8.5.1 Petition
		And while Mac OS 7.5.3 was the last incarnation to support "32-bit dirty" machines (II, IIx, IIcx, and SE/30), MacOS 7.6.1 (which is little more than an update to 7.5.3, both freely available from Apple) was the last incarnation to support 68030 and earlier processors.
		The Release Mac OS 8.1 and 8.5.1 Petition to Apple Computer, Inc. was created by owners and enthusiasts of legacy Macintosh systems and written by Steve Godun.
		In the same spirit that prompted Apple to release the complete Mac OS 7.5.3 operating system as a free download several years ago, we also believe that Apple should also make the complete Mac OS 8.1 and 8.5.1 operating systems available for free public download.

	Encyclopedia: Finder (Mac OS)
		Finder 8.1, released in early 1998, introduced support for the more efficient HFS+ file system, and was the last major update to the classic Mac OS Finder.
		Finder windows were colorized, and the list view was expanded to include "disclosure triangles" which allowed the user to drill down further into the file system without opening more windows.
		Finder 10.0 also eschewed the classic Finder's "spatial" orientation -- where each location on the hard drive opened in its own window, and only one window -- for a Windows 98 -style browser system.

	Mozilla Foundation Drops Support for Mac OS X 10.1 But Continues Commitment to Mac Platform - MozillaZine Talkback
		The last release of Mozilla to support Classic Mac OS (OS 8 and OS 9) was version 1.2.1 of the Mozilla Application Suite (no version of Firefox or Camino ever supported Classic), which came out in late 2002.
		Therefore, if you are using a Mac, you should always be wanting to upgrade to the latest version of OS X, maybe after 4-8 months of x.y.z revs.
		Previously, mozilla.org dropped support for Mac OS X 10.0 (Cheetah) but this did not attract much protest as 10.1 (released just months after Cheetah in 2001) was a free upgrade for 10.0 users.

		Mac OS 8.1 saw the introduction of an updated version of the HFS and HFS+ file systems, which fixed many of the limitations of the earlier system.
