@morrick I’ve shared Tiger screenshots in the past, but not sure if you saw this one dated February 27th, 2007. So many great applications for my Macbook. The viking you see in the Dock is the “Tribal Trouble” game which was available for both Windows and Mac (one of the few MacOS X-native games I could find at the time), plus Elastomania next to it. Then there’s also Adium, the Colloquy IRC client … and I think it’s the Delicious movie database app to the right of Tribal Trouble.
