@marksimonson What a wonderful video clearly showcasing the experience of tasks in 1980s on the Mac along with several gotchas.

I faintly recall using ResEdit to change the Finder’s “Cancel/Okay” to “Nah/Sure” system wide because why not, but I my may be misremembering. Good times.

@Luke Yeah, ResEdit was amazing. The idea you could crack open an app or even the System file and change things was really cool.

@marksimonson incredibly so. I must’ve messed with that computer shop demo unit forever without spending a dime. I bet they had to reinstall things because of me. 🙄

@marksimonson @Luke This was a great part of the experience in the early Mac days. And yes editing fonts by bitmap was so immensely satisfying and delightful
