That was a nice trip down memory lane. I still have fond memories of zipping through the MacAddict magazine forums on Camino. And downloading a dozen freeware apps I didn't need through VersionTracker. Nowadays, I avoid the App Store as much as possible, it gives me so much eye strain.
- amyjess 10y agoDo you remember the sampler CDs that used to come with CD-ROM Today magazine in the mid 90s? They had all sorts of random games and other stuff that I had so much fun with as a kid. One of the first things I did once I got my emulators set up was to hunt down those CDs again...
- fern12 10y agoYep, I used to get CDs with my monthly issue of MacAddict. Those were a highlight for me. I still remember when I discovered Glenn's Games. I felt like I'd hit the jackpot.
- 72deluxe 10y agoThe AppStore is sluggish for me. I don't understand why installing xcode updates shows zero progress in the AppStore other than a tiny rotating wheel - I have to open Activity Monitor and see how busy installd and downloadd (or whatever it is called) are to try and guess how far along the installation I am.
- fern12 10y agoI can't stand the App Store. I have to strain my eyes to read the categories, then strain them again to read the price, and again to read the reviews. I miss the old way of doing everything within a browser (albeit not one that knows everything about me, lol).
