The original Apple IIs (before the IIgs) had their own DOS but it was something Apple wrote from scratch and not a clone of CP/M or MS DOS. It had the usual commands to catalog the contents of a disk or execute a program. It was, like many things on the II, very small fast and efficient but

I guess it depends on if they treat Snow Leopard as a full separate release or just an upgrade. From the pricing it sounds like it's just an upgrade to 10.5 so they might go the upgrade route. At the same time, it adds complexity down the road. If you're doing a fresh install you have to
