Well, I gotta be pedantic—Mac OS didn’t support color graphics until 1991!
Oh wow. Thanks for this! I can’t decide if I want to share it with more people or enjoy it in furtive privacy.
The amazing thing is that you can switch the music and the videos around as much as you want and they all match perfectly in their over-glossy falseness.
That was my first thought, too.
like a late 1980s Mac Desktop
Maybe if you had a brand-new machine. In the late 80s, Macs were still largely monochrome. Only the Macintosh II was color.
I’d call it a delicious mix of late 80s/early 90s Mac and PC software. Like Tandy WinMate.
How are you defining “graphics?” As far as I know its supported color graphics since the Macintosh II, which would be 1987.
Whoops, my bad.
I get what you mean…
Such AESTHEIC
Moreover, the clock reads 1 Aug 1997, a few days after System 8 was released.
A glance at archive.org shows a massive update to poolside.fm on July 26, 2019. Coincidence? I think not.
I wish more sites were like this. Mobile has really forced the sameification of the internet. Remember how many cool designs we used to find back in 2000?
