Interested in really old software? Maybe you've got a Mac 512k you'd like to find a copy of ClarisWorks or Netscape for that'll run nicely. Maybe you want to get that SE on the web. Well, here's a list of relative links you might be interested in checking out.

 

By the way, this is the first page I've ever created in Claris Home Page (which runs comfortably on 68020+ machines with at least 8MB of RAM), so hopefully everyone will like it. If you've got any suggestions for me about my site design, or want to see something I've missed, let me know at andella@mauimail.com.
