Hasn't it always been called "MacOS"?

Nope. In the Classic days it was System 1, System 2, System 3, System 4,
Software System 5, Software System 6, Software System 7/Mac OS 7, Mac OS
8, Mac OS 9... then Mac OS X, then OS X, then macOS.

nobody called it 'software system'.

And now you know. I think it is cool... but you want to troll. Not really
gonna keep biting.

it was called system 0.9 through 7.5.5, macos 7.6 through 9.2.2, then
mac os x and its variants with the associated cat & landmark names.

And somewhere in there the
older Mac was called "Classic" as it ran on the newer one.

nope.

Yes. Apple called it "Classic" when it run on OS X.

no they didn't.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
