The above is a screenshot from System7.app, a website running a Macintosh emulator. In it, is a ClarisWorks document with the following contents:

Holy shit, I definitely remember using Clarisworks.
I don't normally consider myself nostalgic, and yet here I am, powerfully overwhelmed with nostalgia yet again, by an operating system I didn't use at the time.
What is it about these system emulators that speak to me so?
Why do I sort of long for a past I didn't really know? There's something peaceful here, disconnected in a way?

Another thing that stands out to me is immense legibility of the interface: The old greys may not be sexy, but I find them so legible compared to so many modern interfaces.

Anyhow. Guess who wants to buy an old Powerbook now.
