Reply #12: my Plus from 1989 is still running ... [View All]

I dug it out this week to run some analyses on Systat 4.0, and it came through! I feel kind of inadequate even talking about System 6.0.5 when OSX is actually "old" these days ... but some of those earlier operating systems did the trick (even if you were running the system software off a floppy disk, which isn't really possible these days).

These days I have a G3 "Wallstreet" laptop that's a decade old -- I like how you can load up the ports with a battery, or 2 floppy drives, or a CD-ROM, or a DVD, or even a zip drive.
