So on average, we've seen some sort of update every 41.1 days. As of J(13.5's release date), it's been 8,349 days since the Public Beta was released.This version was only for the then-new PowerMac G5 and the flat panel iMac G4, and was never generally released. This figure includes the one odd macOS X release: 10.2.7. Starting with the Public Beta and up through 13.5, there have been 203 macOS releases, both major and minor.Some random notes, updated from the original post: This has happened a few times over the years. This is to keep the version numbers in the proper order, even when an older OS received an update after a major new release came out. Some entries may appear out of chronological order (i.e. Note: The Days column reflects the number of days between releases. Ⓘ Leopard - First universal binary release Ⓘ Snow Leopard - First Intel-only release Ⓘ Lion - App Store only (USB stick later) Ⓘ Ventura (Taxes were too high in Santa Barbara?)

So, Apple have thrown out all old apps at least 3 times since PageMaker 6.5 ran, and it won't have run for 15 years at least. PageMaker 6.5 ran under Classic (though some people were having severe problems already in Tiger Mac OS 10.4 from 2005. This didn't include "Classic" which allowed some apps written for Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 to run. In 2007, Apple released Leopard Mac OS 10.5. But PageMaker 6.5 wasn't one of them and wouldn't run before. This didn't include "Rosetta 1", which allowed Mac OS X users with Intel computers to run "Carbon" apps written for Power PC processors. In 2010, Apple released Lion Mac OS 10.7. It blocked all old apps from before 2019, including (but not only) all Mac OS X 32-bit apps.
In 2020, Apple released Catalina Mac OS 10.15. Apple regularly change things completely to throw out all the old apps.
