frayed around the edges

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Mac OS X
The Mac OS in its ‘Classic’ form had outlasted the useful life of its peers and influenced their GUI-based descendants, such as Windows 3.1 and 95. However, with the year 2000 approaching, the Mac OS was looking a little ***frayed around the edges***. Clashes between System Extensions, required to deliver extra functionality and run external hardware, meant that Macs had become prone to crashes and system freezes – a serious issue when producing professional projects.
