I came across this-System 6 Heaven.

At first I thought it was simply outdated site that has been collecting dust for years but there's a link within the site citing "Old Mac in Mac OS X Environment" that shows that at very least, it was last updated after the release of X beta.

Nonetheless, this paragraph was amusing-
Quote:
System 6 will make any vintage Macintosh computer as fast as a modern Mac.
It's more stable than system 7.x and provides almost instant booting.
It was way ahead of its time and can do far more than most people know.
It needs very little memory and takes up a small amount of hard disk space.
It's more elegant and user-friendly than any other operating system ever made.
It is more inspiring for creative people than any other operating system ever made.
It's nicer and easier to work with than any other operating system ever made.

Oops... I just realized that I made that in System 7.

I don't think you can post .tiff files as images. Maybe link to it, or convert it to a different format.

They show up fine here in Safari. Safari rules.

The screenshot could easily be passed off as System 6, though, with the MultiFinder. The only other System 7 gui giveaway is the balloon help menu.

Same image as above, now in gif format, for those who can not view .tiff files

Yes, I am bored out of my mind right now

Well now I'm back home on a Mac so I can see the .tiff above anyway.
