System 1.1

Less than four months after the releas of System 1.0, Apple Computer churned out System 1.1. The components of System 1.1 were System file version 1.1 and Finder 1.1g. System 1.1 formed part of the Macintosh System Software 0.1 release. The System release is dated April 24, 1984, and has version number 1.1.

Some major changes in System 1.1 include the About the Finder "Mountain" scene of Silicon Valley, the Clean Up command, an the Set Startup command in the Special Menu, which allowed an application to start up automatically after the system was booted.

Disk copying speed was a major enhancement in this system software. Thanks to an increased Finder memory buffer and a reduced swap count in disk copying, file copying was accelerated significantly.

Thanks to optimised system code, system startup was 20% faster than the previous version. After an application program was quit, the Finder reappeared faster.

Also for the first time, you had to click on the name of a file to rename it. in 1.0, you could rename a file by simply selecting it and typing.
