Recently I came across https://512pixels.net/2014/04/aqua-past-future/ https://512pixels.net/2014/04/aqua-past-future/ and was overcome with nostalgia for System 7.
Maybe it’s just that a Mac IIsi running System 7 was my first computer when I was seven years old, but I think there’s a timeless beauty to the operating system that no later release has really captured.

Those folder and control panel icons just slay me.
