[Doctor Q]

I suppose I could look it up, but I admit I don't remember what "Platinum" is.

 

[rendezvouscp]

Ah, such old times. I didn't know what At Ease or PC Exchange were (and still don't remember them after a search on Google); I remembered the others though!

I still use WindowShade. I really like the whoosh sound.

 

[r.j.s]

This is the stuff I grew up on in school - all the way from the 3rd grade though my senior year of HS was done on Macs - none of which had OS X. It wasn't out yet.

 

[MikeTheC]

Actually, I'm familiar with all of them. (Maybe this is just me showing my age.)

However, I think you missed some. Allow me to enumerate:

• ADB
• IWM / SWIM
• RAM Resistor Snipping
• Signatures Inside of Cases
• SCSI
• Crystal Raider / Crystal Quest
• MacMan (both the game and the joystick adapter)
• MacCharlie
• Dynabrick / MacLuggable
• DiskDup+
• Dark Castle
• AppleTalk (the hardware, not just the protocol)
• Bernoulli drives
• FDHD
• Timbuktu
• TOPS network software
• Font/DA Mover
• Mode32
• CMD + OPT + X + O (Remember which Mac this worked on?)
• Adobe Type Manager

IIRC it was an Appearance set for OS 9 (and possibly earlier).

 

[rdowns]

Yup, now I remember. Thanks bartelby

Platinum was also the official name of the case colour from around the time the SE/30 and the IIci were released. A distinctly paler beige, for the more discerning gentleman or lady user...
