This app wouldn't be possible with the hard work of Christian Bauer and James Friend, who did everything that seems like computing magic here. It is, however, a quick and easy way to experience a bit of nostalgia if you're not trying to do anything serious with it. This is a toy - it's not the best nor the most performant way to emulate an old Macintosh. However, Internet Explorer and Netscape are installed, as is the "Web Sharing Server", if you want to play around a bit. For what it's worth, the web was quite different 30 years ago - and you wouldn't be able to open even Google. Click on the "Help" button at the bottom of the running app to see instructions. You can transfer files directly - or mount disk images. There are also various apps and trials preinstalled, including Photoshop 3, Premiere 4, Illustrator 5.5, StuffIt Expander, the Apple Web Page Construction Kit, and more. Namely, Oregon Trail, Duke Nukem 3D, Civilization II, Alley 19 Bowling, Damage Incorporated, and Dungeons & Dragons. You'll find various games and demos preinstalled, thanks to an old MacWorld Demo CD from 1997. Printers with a touchscreen control panel: Open the Setup, Network, or Wireless settings menu, select Wireless Setup Wizard, and then follow the instructions to select the network name and enter the password. The virtual machine is emulating a 1991 Macintosh Quadra 900 with a Motorola CPU, which Apple used before switching to the PowerPC architecture (Apple/IBM/Motorola) in the mid 1990s. Place the printer within range of the Wi-Fi router signal, and then connect it to the network. Bear in mind that this is written entirely in JavaScript, so please adjust your expectations. Macintosh.js is essentially a virtual machine that emulates a 1990's pre-PowerPC era Macintosh Quadra 900 equipped with a Motorola processor.
