What I'd really like to see, is Apple and Microsoft dedicating at least 1 person each (or even just part of their time), to meaningfully engage with the retro community about their company's older operating systems. Maybe fix some old bugs or write/port some newer apps to those OSes... or teach how to code/debug with period-correct software…

Cool stuff.What about the enterprise version (https://lain.wiki/images/5/53/CoplandOS.png), though? :^)

Oof, that hit me right in the nostalgia - I grew up with that style of Macintosh UI and miss it quite a lot.(and also, how cool is it that we can run whole computers in our web browsers, just like that!)

As a long time apple fan, Copland and what may have been occupies far more of my mind than is reasonable. But I never thought I’d actually get a chance to touch it. This is awesome to see.

I’d kill to see Project Star Trek but well never see that.For those who don’t know it was Apple’s port to Intel before they decided that PPC was the way forward after m68k.
