| Apple II DeskTop gets an update |
Posted by: krishnadraws on 2021-07-17 06:37:27
After 35 years, the Apple II Desktop gets an update from version 1.1 to 1.2 alpha 35. There are a host of new improvements. I installed it on my IIGS and it seems to work well. It should work on the Apple IIe, IIc, and Laser 128 machines as well. |

Whoa. That’s very cool.
Henri Lamiraux, one of the co-authors named at the linked page, was my boss at Apple in ‘95-96. By then he was tech lead for the Frameworks team (ODF + MacApp), possibly among other things. I was a lowly intern but thought he was a nice and impressive guy. He had previously co-authored Studio/8 and Studio/32. I had no idea he was (much earlier) involved in MouseDesk. |

This is fantastic! Its about time the 8 bit GUI for the Apple II line received some much needed attention. |

This is the ultimate OS for the IIc+! Indeed! The feature of loading the whole program in the RAM expansion is a killer feature on the IIc+ - you keep the DeskTop working and you have free drive(s) for more software to use. |
