Like most vintage Mac users, I've heard the story that the original 1984 Macintosh Guided Tour contains old-style icons and system features (indeed it is coded as System .85), because at the last minute Apple found a bug that prevented the Guided Tour from running under the final shipping operating System 1.0 (v.97). Of course that story makes complete sense, but is it true?

As I recall the Tour ran FULL screen and auto booted instead of the finder. It didn't follow the Mac UI. It was written to run on a 128K single 400K floppy drive. You had to work hard to see the the system stuff on the disk.

Does anyone know if it takes you to the Finder when you get to the end and quit? I just don't remember.
