System 7, today and forever

As I did my rounds in the garden, I sound like a rich-people's security detail, lol, I thought of a utility that can serve as way of unearthing more Mac goodies :D

I'm not saying that this tool hasn't been looked at before, but it was a big deal in my usage of system 7 when it was part of my EDE (every-day extensions): Extension Overload has a huge database of system extensions which may not all be accounted for but people here and in the Garden can use to query their own software collections.

You just never know what we could find as a result ;)

Great idea, great utility! Been using Extension Overload myself on virtually any Mac OS system for years. Great to weed out unwanted stuff.

I found it most useful in keeping track of changes during app installs. If the app must go then I want to be able to remove its extensions as well.
