[Coco] KIDS REACT TO OLD COMPUTERS

No... Darwin did not exist prior to MacOS X. Darwin is to OS X as Fedora is 
to RedHat Linux. Except Darwin does not have a GUI, and I don't think it is 
widely used as a stand alone OS.

It's just an open sourced development branch of the OS X kernel.

If you want to be more specific, OSX is based on a variant of BSD Unix
called Darwin.
