lmao what did you do to that computer

.

Some of the things to notice in System 1:

-No zoom boxes (they appeared in System 6).

-The trash icon doesn't show it's full (the only way of knowing if there's something in the trash is to open it, in System 7 appeared the "full trash icon").

-The lines inside the Trash are going the opposite way than in System 6 (they changed direction in System 3).

-No "Label" menu (appeared in System 6 on color Macs and in System 7).

-And who remember the 1984 games running in System 1?

Bus'd Out
Ground Zero
Solitaire
On the Contrary
Space Invaders
Amazing
Daleks

Earlier. System 3.0 had them, System 2.0 did not. Unless they were a System 2.x intermediate-update addition, zoom boxes came with System 3.

I never noticed that before!

I just noticed something odd about miniVmac, too: it's System 4 incompatible! (System 4 will boot but there's no mouse cursor). The same diskimage works fine in the older vMac PPC emulator.

"The lines inside the Trash are going the opposite way...."

Yes, I remember I read about it some years ago, but I only saw it now. :)

Yes, System 4.0 behaves the same here. Try using (they work with mini vmac):

System 4.1 Finder 5.5
System 4.2 Finder 6.0
System 4.3 Finder 6.0

I went to Fine Art School. It was a project. It had to do with change. I just took apart the computer and squirted this yellow goo stuff. the yellow goo stuff then expands (Maximum Overload). I did that project at a time when I really hated computers (I did not think they were efficient). I had a G3 powerbook that didnt have firewire or USB. I went to a school that "I thought had the right EDUC. but I was wrong." I couldnt ever get that old laptop to work and I had a Powerbook 120.
It is something that keeps me motivated. It is something I keep displayed in my bedroom. It reminds me of the past, and striving for something better.
I think of these ideas when i see it. simple, small, efficient, visually stimulating, breakthrough technology.
P.S. I understand how some Apple Users would be mad to see that image. I apologize to all the Apple Users who think I messed up a one of a kind computer.

Yea… A polyurethaned Mac Portable is pretty distressing.

Of course, it's not the best of the breed, but it was a landmark. It was about the equivalent of a Mac Plus; But who would have thought to put any computer in a package even smaller than the suitcase Compaq of the time? I have a lot of old Macs and Apples (even a NeXT box!), but that one I'm lacking.

Someone else who thinks like I do! :) If you've ever seen a screenshot from the ALTO you'll notice one thing missing... MENUS! Plus, the reason the Alto didn't sell was because it was priced at $40000. It took a company like Apple to figure out the interface and market it... and then it took a company like Microsoft to steal it (and screw it up). :rolleyes:

First GUI? Doug Engelbart and colleagues at the Stanford Research Institute. 1968.

And Alan Kay and colleagues, funded by ARPA largely as grad students but later moving on to Xerox PARC, whence came SmallTalk and the Object Oriented GUI.

Some of these folks were later hired by Steve Jobs and Apple, Alan Kay and Larry Rosenstein being highly memorable among them.

Man, that's cool... it's hard to believe people had that vision that long ago. I love history.
