Infinite Mac lets you boot a virtual Macintosh from the 1980s to the early 2000s right in your browser. You pick a system, and a faithful emulator starts it up. You can explore the Infinite HD disk, which comes loaded with software, or build a custom setup of your own.
It uses emulation, so nothing is installed on your computer, and the experience is as close to sitting in front of a beige box as the web gets. The old interfaces, the sounds and the pace are all there,.
It is designed for desktop use. It is a big rabbit hole, since each system has its own world to explore. A treat for anyone who grew up on a classic Mac, and a clear view of computing history for those who did not. Expect to spend more time than planned.
Tips for getting the most out of it
- Use a desktop browser.
- Look through the Infinite HD disk for software to try.
- Try more than one system version.
