Back on Oct. 22, 1996 they were featuring on their hompage the release of "System 7.5.5".

Holy Freakin' Crap!111

In just nine years we've gone from that abomination to the goodness that is 10.4.3. Amazing.

Thanks Apple!!!!

Very nice going down memory lane.

Maybe that "trip down memory lane" remark was actually snarking about the repeat thread.

Maybe all of wdlove's posts are secretly sarcastic…

That's pretty cool. I don't know that a major redesign is appropriate. The current design for the site is very functional, very easy to use I'd say. They've got a good thing going.

What I'd like to know if when and how to they decide to grab a site for their database? Some are updated frequently, other not at all.
