| Brand new copy of System 7.1.1 Pro! | |
| Posted by: IIfx on 2011-05-03 17:19:09 I am very exited to get this one in the mail. A brand new copy of 7.1.1 pro! Cost me 21 dollars on fleabay.  (Image from ebay auction)Now the question remains: Should I open it when it arrives? Thus the poll. I will document it with a video for sure. But I am uneasy about opening a new copy of Apple software from 1993. | |
| Posted by: Unknown_K on 2011-05-03 18:10:05 I have a pretty large Apple OS collection (legit) from 6.0x to 9.1 and I am not sure I have 7.1.1 pro. Nice find. | |
| Posted by: macman142 on 2011-05-03 18:15:36 I vote: only open it if you don't already have another (already opened) copy of it. I don't see much 'value' in unopened vs opened software of this vintage, it's just cool to see it still in it's shrink wrap! | |
| Posted by: PowerPup on 2011-05-03 18:46:35 I think you should leave it unopened until you actually want/need to use it on a Mac. That way you won't end up feeling guilty about opening a shrink-wrapped copy. 😉 | |
| Posted by: IIfx on 2011-05-07 15:41:02 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ngejcEgFL0 I decided to open it up and install it on the IIfx. One floppy was defective out of the box! The last one, AppleScript. Making a replacement. | |
