Test Drive a 1990's Mac

Someone (with too much leisure time, apparently) has created a Flash simulation of Mac OS 7.0. While of course not a complete Mac, the simulation at least gives a feel how a Mac and some of its applications felt circa 1990.
Reminds me of my first Mac, a Mac LC with a whopping 2 MB of RAM - which, btw, still works. What a long way it was to Panther on my shiny PowerBook G4...

While we're at it: a lot of anecdotes about the development of the original Mac and the people behind it can be found on folklore.org, a site created by Andy Hertzfeld, one of the fathers of the Macintosh.
