How do Apple II's work?

[Big Brother <johnw@sdf.lonestar.org>]

Just for curiousity can someone explain to me the technical details on how 
ProDOS differes from the standard Mac OS, and then how it differs from Mac 
OSX.

I used Apple II's for many years, and still have an emulator running on my 
ibook running Tiger, although that screenshot was taken when I had a 
Performa 6360.

I know there are many that think the Apple II is better than OSX, and 
there are many that think the standard Mac OS is ebtter than OSX. Each has 
their strengths and weaknesses.  Tiger for the most part is superior, but 
it has a few disadvantages vs. OS 9.1.

Thanks


John

"The president didn't go into Iraq because the polls told him it was 
popular.  As a matter of fact, the polls said just the opposite.  But 
leadership isn't about polls.  It's about making decisions you think are 
right and then standing behind those decisions. 
That's why America is safer with George W. Bush as president" (Arnold 
Schwarzenegger, 2004).

Matthew 7:12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to
them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all:  If anyone would come after me, he
must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
