Recently I came across https://512pixels.net/2014/04/aqua-past-future/ and was overcome with nostalgia for System 7.

Maybe it’s just that a Mac IIsi running System 7 was my first computer when I was seven years old, but I think there’s a timeless beauty to the operating system that no later release has really captured.

Those folder and control panel icons just slay me.

You can run it in emulators. I was doing that on Android recently, to play Deja Vu.

However, you probably cherish more your memory of the system than the actual thing, and emulators don't help with that.

I should probably do that.

Actually, my Mac IIsi still works last I checked, but that was about ten years ago!
