Okay, I'll take a stab at it... Back at my mom's house there is a Mac Classic that is sitting up, still functioning and ready for ANYONE to turn it on. When I visit I still fire it up, but mostly just to play with it and marvel at the advances that have been made AS WELL AS how much some other thinga have not changed that much.... I used to have alot of fun w/ the font/DA mover, and I seem to remember a Sound Mover program also. I loved (and still do!) to make funny sounds offa TV shows, movies and my answering machine(!) and use them w/ SoundMaster and such. Also, I think I had DOZENS of those little DA games that used to be made and traded around.... Oh let's see what apps I had... MacWrite, MacDraw, Macpaint, Print Shop, the early versions of WP and Word, .... Hey! That reminds me! I made a Word document into a "diary" w/a password that I have been trying to figure out since 1990! Would be a KICK to go back and read what "mind-blowing" stuff was troubling me back when i was 20! ;-) Hmmm... I think anything else would probably fall into the category of worthless %*&@: - like the little freeware app that turned the "apple" in the Menu Item into a revolving globe, - the app that make the "working cursor" watch into other little equally silly things, - the app that made the trashcan have OSCAR THE GROUCH pop out and sing his "I love Trash" song..! Ha, ha! U know, as much as I talk badly about all of this, U WOULD NEVER figger that recently I attempted to put some of those ol' apps and toys on my CURRENT PMACS!!! .... - or WOULD you?!?! - :-o Craig W. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
