Not Wasting Enough Time?

Post by bayswater »

I saw this emulator of Mac OS 8.1. Lots of fun. It actually works, and comes with a working copy of Photoshop 3, Claris, IE, Netscape, etc. Perhaps it will run DP 3 or maybe DP 2.

If you're looking for real punishment, the same author does a Windows 95 emulation.

Download is about half way down this page.

That might be an intriguing waste of time, indeed. I was an avid Clarisworks user back in the day. Still need to open up Appleworks on a legacy machine now and again (that machine is running Tiger- 10.4)

If I felt compelled to try it, I'd probably want to see if I could get Performer to run. Just for a little walk down memory lane.

Hilarious. Man, I remember when System 7 was the Real Hot Setup. Hard to believe we worked at such cruddy resolution!
