I was in 8th grade when the bondi blue iMac was released. i remember BEGGING my parents for one for christmas...thankfully they aquiesced and i got one that year. i can recall my mom telling me how difficult it was for my dad to get the words "i'm here to buy an iMac" out of his mouth at CompUSA, as he was an ardent PC user. anyways, i was quite young at the time and had had much exposure to macs cuz my friends and some relatives had them. i knew everything. i could use ResEdit. I knew all the hidden OS shortcuts and secrets and how to fix everything. Years of being a passionate advocate and user of apple products have taught me a lot. however, once the OS 9 and under systems began vanishing, so also the need to know all this behind the scenes stuff seemed to vanish with them. OS X is excellently stable and intuitive. But I miss the days of yore with programmer's switches the debug console and the simple grace and fun of the chooser. so...for someone who's forgotten so much of what he once knew, does anyone have any resources to offer or random things they remember from the system 7 days? i've poked around here a bit but the information seems a little unconsolidated. Thanks! |

The biggest thing for me about system 6/7 was the contrast with the other systems of the time. Today it's easy to take it all for granted but back when DOS/Win3 ruled the world, the Mac was like nothing else. This site is about the best for System7, the software archives over at info-mac.org are also great. And www.lowendmac.com still has lots of classic mac info. Enjoy your hobby and good luck with your search !
