Panther
(v10.3.x) really is the best of MacOS combined with the best
of UNIX. It's lovely.
As a long time MacOS and Unix user, it was nice to finally bridge the two.

That was about ten years ago, which is about half the lifetime of the Mac.
The first release of A/UX was released about fourteen years ago (1988).
I'd call that a long time ago compared to OS X and the age of the Mac
itself.

It wasn't that long ago to completely forget about it was what I was
referring to.
Anyway I don't think it ran on a laptop well (or even at all).

Finally? It was bridged a long time ago with A/UX.
The last release os A/UX was 1994 or so (I have it), it wasn't that long
ago.

That's true, it wouldn't run on any of the laptops.
