Anybody remember Launcher?

[FocusAndEarnIt]

Well, I'd really like to be able to use Launcher that was found in the older Classic Mac OS's.

My school uses it all the time (on Classic).

As I do know there is someway to reinvent the Launcher or to download it because my school just got 35 iBooks, aka "mobile lab" and they all have Tiger and have a Launcher. And when it is open ... it even shows the Launcher icon in the dock.

Any suggestions?
I would like the acutal Launcher, not one of those remade ones and I don't want to pay for it.

Anybody?

Is launcher an app that allows you to launch apps with a keystroke and typing in the first few letter of their name?

If that's what you're looking for, Butler or Quicksilver should do the trick. I personally love butler. http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/12170

No, that's not what I'm talking about.

It looks like this for those of you who need a flash back of Classic, haha.

Unfortunatley that page has Windows icons in that Launcher ... they are servers or something

I've never used OS9 or classic. Whats the function of that thing? It looks like a pre-historic Finder Window to me.

Ya, reading your post I can still hear that familiar "click" sound when opening it up back in the OS 8 days. Brian Hill has a site for some of the older apps; I think there's a cocoa version of the 7/8 Launcher. I'll post back if I find anything else.

That is EXACTLY what my school uses in Mac OS X! Thanks!!

In Mac OS 9, all you had to do was to create a bunch of aliases in a folder and change the view to buttons.

Yeah.
Or a new folder, put the aliasses in it, and drag it to the bottom of the screen: Pop-up folder.

The Dock does everything for me now. I love it.
