Hi,
I am looking for some more information on Macintosh Guided Tour disk.
I would love to document this for posterity on my GUIdebook Graphical
User Interface gallery (www.aresluna.org/guidebook) and I'd be very
grateful for any help I can get.
I found on the Internet copies of two versions of the Macintosh
Guided Tour -- one that seems to be for the original Mac (400K disk),
the other for System 5.1 (800K disk). Were there more editions? When
did Apple stop adding that to their computers?
The first version has less options and gives me an impression that it
comes with a narration of an audio tape, or something to that effect.
This seemed to be a common practice at that time (I had an Atari
BASIC demo tape that had voice introduction interleaved with
programs) and also, there's "Listen, experiment, and enjoy learning"
on the title page. Is that a correct assumption?
The second version comes with on-screen bubbles with text.
Unfortunately, the disk seems to be damaged and only two options
(Desk Accessories and Mousing Around) seem to be working.
I have put some screenshots that can jog your memory:
http://www.aresluna.org/1st-welcome.png -- first version: welcome screen
http://www.aresluna.org/1st-demo.png -- first version: running demo
http://www.aresluna.org/2nd-welcome.png -- second version: welcome
screen
http://www.aresluna.org/2nd-da.png -- second version: running demo
(desk accessories)
http://www.aresluna.org/2nd-mousing.png -- second version: mousing
around
Thanks in advance for your help!
