OK
I knew Don Maslin, and Hex Star is no Don Maslin.

But, it's time to cut him a little slack.  Perhaps a good starting project
for him would be to go to the apple.com websites, and download and
assemble a complete collection of every version of Mac OS.  That's
certainly something that there needs to be copies of before Apple's bean
counters decide that "obsolete" OS software should be deleted.
