The University of Washington Television site has an interesting lecture on the origins of OS X and general Mac history given by Bud Tribble of Apple. It's slightly out of date (2003) and deals with Jaguar rather than Panther but I found it very interesting and thought I would pass it on to anyone who may not be aware of it. It's about an hour long. You can view it

From the introduction:
Bud Tribble will cover its interesting evolution and its place in the current line-up of mass market operating systems. Topics include: the miracle (and challenges) of actually providing ease of use on top of BSD, the interaction of Mac OS X with the open-source software community (Darwin) and recent developments in Mac OS X (Rendezvous networking, Safari browser, X Window Server support, OpenGL, Java tools).
P.S. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for the post but the lecture covers so many aspects of using a Mac that it did not seem to fit into any other forum other than this one for discussion. Enjoy.
