It's unlikely that those who used Mac OS 8 in its day are itching to get back to it, but people who hadn't tried it before will have a very interesting experience. Why though?īecause we can! We often forget just how quickly software technology has evolved in the past three decades, and trying out a 23-year-old operating system can give you some much-needed perspective. There probably aren't too many Mac OS 8 nostalgics out there, but whether it's nostalgia or curiosity that drives you, this Electron-based app allows you to run this ancient operating system on your modern Mac. Many users refuse to update to a new version of an operating system when it comes out, and some will hold out for years until technological advances force them to make the switch.
