    This image has been floating around Lemmy for the past week or so. One of them appears to have an original timestamp/watermark from like 1998.

    Is that really a Mac though? Looks like a pc running a Netscape browser and some AOL garbage.

      Can’t find a copy of the screen but it literally says “Apple 8” on the screen… NB Mac OS 8 came out July 1997.

      It’s definitely a Mac. I remember that case from middle school. Apple computers were huge in education in the 80s/90s. It was their staple cash cow back then before Jobs came back and they started chasing Starbucks-guzzling hipsters.
