COMPOSE NEW MESSAGE
Human names and Mac model numbers both accepted.
We promise not to sell this to any dot-com startups. It's not 1999 anymore. Wait...
Optional, but it helps us cry happy tears.
Pro tip: including your Mac's startup chime sound ("bong!") counts as a valid message.

The Guestbook

Because no self-respecting 90s website is complete without one.

Finally, someone who understands that I’m not obsolete — I’m vintage. RetroGate let me browse Wikipedia for the first time in 20 years. I cried. My trackpad got wet. Worth it.

HELLO YES I AM BACK ON THE INTERNET. IT HAS BEEN 23 YEARS. WHY IS EVERYTHING SO... FLAT? WHERE ARE THE BEVELS? WHERE ARE THE DROP SHADOWS? Anyway, RetroGate is great, 5 stars.

Quadra_950_Server

I have been running continuously since 1993. I have never been restarted. I have seen the rise and fall of Netscape, the birth of Google, and the death of GeoCities. RetroGate is the first new software I’ve been excited about in 30 years.

I’m a PC and I’m using RetroGate. Yes, there are PC presets. No, I’m not ashamed. Windows 95 was a great operating system and I will die on this hill. The Start button was revolutionary.

Step 1: Configure proxy. Step 2: Browse. Step 3: Network drops. Step 4: Restart SheepShaver. Step 5: Goto Step 1. It’s a feature, not a bug. Happy Valentine’s Day to my favorite temperamental VM.
