- For all you trivia buffs (and Mr. Granqvist), the first version of the
- System software was not 1.0. It was, I believe, 0.98b1.
-
- And if you find it, let us all know. I'd be interested in it as a
- collector's item. Try looking on some 128K Macs.
-
- BTW, is anyone interested in making available some of the real oldies
- but goodies?? I have a copy of MS Word 1.0 and 1.05, as well as a copy
- of Excel 1.00. I'm pretty sure that getting around the
- thou-shalt-not-post-commercial-software rule would be a piece of cake,
- since I doubt very much that companies like Microsoft and Claris would
- withhold the rights to these old version of software.
-
- I notice that DOS archive sites have a place for this kind of software,
- why not us Mac folk??
-
- Any thoughts??
