Heh.

Cipher would have been about six at the time.

IIRC, Apple even brought out a compatibility checker that would scan your entire hard drive and give you page-long lists of all the software that *definitely* needed updating, and a somewhat shorter one of the software it wasn't sure about, and about two lines of software that were (remember the stickers?) "System 7 Savvy".

PLUS, I had to pay a couple hundred dollars to upgrade my Mac SE to 2.5 MB RAM to run it!
