1991... that's when I was born.

I'm much older than you, since I was born in the 80s. And by 80s I mean the 1880s.

I admittably have a weakness for vintage human computer interface design, but for some reason, they don't make them like they used to anymore.

Anyone knows of any Lisp Machine emulator anywhere? The later generation ones with high res graphics and stuff preferably. That's an experience I'd like to try...

There are several but none of them will run in a browser.

4 MB. It's quite mindblowing to think that now a low-end laptop has 1,024 times more RAM.

Hypercard "Player"? Oh the pain, it's all coming back to me! (To those who don't understand... Hypercard was originally free but when it was spun off as part of Claris, they tried to charge for the real thing and only offered the "Player" for free. Hypercard was already disintegrating from neglect but this really hastened its demise.)

You could tell their heart wasn't in Hypercard Player: putting "set the userLevel to 5" into the message box would essentially turn it into Hypercard.
