In Brief: An Organization that Followed Apple Into the Past
Following yesterday’s announcement about Apple’s retroactive releases, a group of people decided to forge their way into the past and start the open-source Classilla project.
According to their website, the Classilla project is in love with the very European, very OS9-friendly iCab browser; a program that has been ready for 1989 for the past five years.
Classilla is designed to bring the modern benefits of Mozilla-based browsers back to people still living in the 90′s, thus freeing them from the terrors that we all lived through in those days.1
It’s heartwarming to see people following the great ones at Apple and push the boarders backwards as well as forward. If this trend continues we can look back and see a day where nobody using a Mac will have ever had to utter the words, “I just installed Internet Explorer on my Mac!”
- That’s right. I’m looking at you, blink tag! And don’t try to shuffle off the page, marquee! You know what you did. [↩]
But what about people like me, who didn’t suffer from the terrors of the 90s?
Just bring me Lode Runner for my iPhone and I’ll stop complaining.
Oh man yes please! I miss Lode Runner.
