@tewha @KingShawn Switcher was Apple's first attempt to multitasking on the Mac. No mention of what version of the Macintosh OS was required. Only requirements mentioned is a Macintosh 512K or Macintosh XL. The Macintosh Switcher Construction Kit was published in 1985. Imagine running this on a 2 floppy drive system.
For some reason I bought MacProject. Even used it at work, a little.
@tewha @KingShawn An early software purchase was MacDraw
@tewha @KingShawn If you were real geeky and wanted to get on the online world MacTerminal was an early favorite. I eventually switched to Zterm.
@tewha @KingShawn Back in the day printing was normal. My Macintosh was bundled with an Imagewriter printer. The manual made me scratch my head because there was instructions involving dip switches. That was all Apple II stuff. With the Mac you just plugged it in and printed. No need to flip switches to set the font.
I had the scanner add-on. I would scan something and then use special ink cartridge to create an iron-on image for putting on t-shirts.
@tewha @KingShawn My Fat Mac was eventually upgraded to a 512Ke and then a MacPlus. So here is the MacPus manual.
@tewha @KingShawn And what is a Macintosh without MacPaint. Much smaller than the MacWrite manual but so much in it.
@tewha @KingShawn The MacWrite manual which also came with the Mac, since MacWrite was bundled with it.
@tewha @KingShawn And I found the old Mac manuals. One a bookshelf that I looked over 20 times today. Still looking for more of the old floppies.
The manual that came with the Macintosh. Brings back memories.
All manuals except for MacPaint and Switcher are spiral bound. Most have bookmarks built into the covers.
