So, save for Kodiak (Alaskan Bear), everyone of them is a cat. But it was wrong of me to assume a) there have been 10 straight versions (from 1 to 10) and b) that they were all named after cats. <br /><br />In any case, Growl is an interesting feature for integrating messages/notifications from Apps.maxim m. noronhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029692766672004029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423567.post-18095236094228026242010-08-25T21:43:26.075+05:302010-08-25T21:43:26.075+05:30Maxim, Growl is not from Apple but a 3rd party app...Maxim, Growl is not from Apple but a 3rd party application. As far as naming goes, I am not sure but the first version of OSX was code named "Cheetah" possibly indicating speed and then followed up by "Puma". By then the code names had become common knowledge, so along with version number 10.1, 10.2.. they started calling them by code names.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053955945230297508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423567.post-88291835411777898042010-08-25T21:24:13.735+05:302010-08-25T21:24:13.735+05:30You'd think that Apple would have by now retir...You'd think that Apple would have by now retired The cat (having lived its nine lives, now onto its Xth) but it continues to "growl, prowl, & howl" well into this next version.
