Powershare Collaborative Server
Posted by: beachycove on 2008-01-19 08:00:55
As a collector, I have an interest in old Apple networking software and hardware, and after a couple of years of looking hither and yon, under every bush and tree, and climbing every mountain just in case someone might have dropped it up there — I have finally found a copy of the abortive and semi-mythical Apple Powershare Collaborative Server. This was a Powertalk-Appleshare related product from the 7.1-7.5 era, pre-dating the emergence of the web as we know it (and which did not sell at all well at $1000, judging by the paucity of copies of the software available). The plug was pulled with 7.6, which dropped the whole Powertalk hot potato completely.

Now if I could just find Claris OfficeMail! I have the demo, but not the Ding-an-sich.

Oh man, Congratulations! I've been interested in how exactly PowerShare server works, and what all functionality it provides, so I think you'll need to post some screenshots and a box shot or two if you could!
