I've got a copy of PhotoShop 1 that runs fine on OS9.1, fits on a floppy. Stuff that won't run on later OSs can probably work under an emulator like vMac. See http://www.emulation.net/ for that and similar stuff. > I heard software becomes "public domain" at certain age, can someone verify this? I can verify that it's not true. Or not for at least 90 years. However, a lot of old software is around and often the original creators are bankrupt or long gone and no one has records of or cares what happens to their old software. You're reasonably safe in swapping it around as long as you don't go into business selling it. >There should be a website for such thing, does anyone know of any? There's an active scene in "Abandonware", mostly concentrated on games. One reasonably reputable site is Macintosh Garden, http://mac.the-underdogs.org/. (Note also their legal disclaimers.)
