Version 1.0 of Packard bell navigator in that video reminds me of the Macintosh "at ease" software I used to see in schools.

Totally off topic, I'm reminded that a high school friend gave me an old Packard bell machine for free once, and I ran OpenBSD on it for years. I got some ISA NICs and used it as a firewall.

Oh gawd I remember Mac "At Ease." That was the dumbed down lockdown software they used to make the computers at the school labs fun proof.

  • My father installed it on our family mac. I somehow discovered that by quickly rebooting twice, it would start the usual Finder shell instead, albeit in English instead of the configured Norwegian. Fun times.
