Screenshot of the Mac Emulator I have:

A couple of incredibly silly sounding questions about Mac OS 7..5.3:

How the hell do you minimize a program and how do you switch between open tasks?

Is it possible to have a desktop wallpaper background in this? Because the default "patterns" are not very appealing to put it lightlky.

If I wasn't going to care, why would I have downloaded the program and installed the OS to begin with?

I'm always messing with older OS's, and always give each of them a separate desktop background.

Where can I get that emulator? I'd love to try out a MacOS again! I haven't messed around with a MacOS since I was in school on 1999-06-17! That'll bring back some memories! Anyway, all OS I've tried and first date of use before are:

[PAST]
1994-09-14: MacOS (I'm unsure what versions. Some PowerPC systems and a few iMacs when they 1st came out)

1998-07-DD: Windows 98 (Original)

2001-07-DD: Windows 2000 Professional (very nice!)

2001-09-16: Windows Millennium (Piece of junk. I was glad to get rid of that OS and get...)

[PRESENT]
2001-12-23: Windows XP Professional (VERY nice, if set up right and every Windows Update is installed. I'm still running this as I write this now. I reinstalled the OS on 2003-05-16.)

[FUTURE]
2003-10-12: Windows for Workgroups: Version 3.11 (via VMware emulation)

2003-MM-DD: Linux Mandrake and/or Red[ ]Hat

Before 2003-12-31: Windows 2003, Enterprise Server (anyone on here who has used this before, tell me how it runs)

Microsoft Bob - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This was a GUI aimed at kids or novices that sat on top of Windows. Instead of the Program Manager/Start Menu you have "Rooms" and objects in the rooms are the icons to launch programs. It was bundled with a simple word processor, email client and silly kiddy educational question and answer programs. Microsoft expected it to be huge and were planning to release more programs to go with it. However it utterly flopped, therefore no additional programs were released for it, making it utterly redundant. It's hilariously bad, and I'd even reccomend installing it for a laugh .

I was about to ask what Bob was. Where does one get it nowadays?

Me ::
Windows 3.1
Windows For Workgroups 3.11
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows 98SE
Windows ME (unfornately, but I only used it at the store which was on the display machine & I didn't know until I clicked the Start Menu)
Windows NT 4.0
Windows 2000
Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2000 Advanced Server (if I remember correctly from Network class)
Windows XP Home Edition
Windows XP Professional
Red Hat Linux, I forgot the version we used in class.
Apple Macintosh back in primary school/high school
OSX or whatever it's called, my mate had an iMac.

A bit late in replying but it's Basilisk II.

This tutorial in how to set it up is pretty good:
