Classic Mac Nostalgia
has been using Macs since second grade. He specializes in "the lowest of the low-end spectrum" - Macintosh operating systems ranging from version 1.0 up to 6.0.8 and the Macs that run them.
Andrew writes, "I've always been interested in why the Macintosh OS has looked so good and was so easy to use from its first release.
"I own a Mac Plus, but since it's so old and slow, I prefer to emulate it using Mini vMac (based on vMac) on my blueberry iMac DV."
Classic Mac Nostalgia will cover emulators, System 1.0 and later, and programs that you can use with older versions of the Mac OS.
