Installing my own irl boxed copy of RPPlus G2 (6.0) on HITACHI FLORA 270HX NW5: https://i.imgur.com/DdxWKKY.png

RP6 serials are also valid for RP7 and RP8 (didn't try / care about any later version bc I want to keep RealJukebox as a separate application) which is good because the box is just labeled “RealPlayer Plus” with “G2” on a circular sticker and doesn't mention the version number at all lol https://i.imgur.com/uS1v0ao.png

Who OEMed the drives? SONY? Matsushita? I know the Pippin Ⅱ (Atmark-PD) was planned to have a Matsushita PD drive, probably a LF-1097 because that was the only OEM SCSI model of the PD line they ever made: https://web.archive.org/web/20010417221312/http://www.panaso...

Those sites are cool, but I like the thematic focus of this one. Focus Now!

“Netscape, for those of you who have been living in a bubble or don't have graphical web access, started it all, with their "Netscape Now!" buttons. Other people started making their own buttons, using the same style but substituting their own graphics and text. (Many of them kept the "Now!" lettering, as that's part of the joke.)”

Too kind. Glad you like :)

Owns — I love this game. Time to find out if my ancient Saturn modchip actually works!

Some of my own examples since the tool doesn't document what type of output to expect:

> OT_Advanced_Tuner.sit is a Stuffit 5.5 file. This file requires StuffIt Expander 5.5 or later, which needs a Mac running System 7.0 or later. These files are not compatible with 68000-based Macs (128K/512K/Plus/SE/Classic/PB100/Portable/XL)

> Disk-Copy-42.sit is a Stuffit 1.6-4.5 file. This file can be expanded on all Macs with UnStuffit 3 or StuffIt Expander 4.02 or later.

> CYO.sitx is a StuffitX file. This file is too new to be decompressed on most vintage Macs. All .sitx files require StuffIt Expander 7.0 or later and a Mac running Mac OS 8.6 - 9.x or Mac OS X 10.1.

Wayback Machine also has a few crawls of this site's later domain, but I like the design of this earlier one more https://web.archive.org/web/19990125104528/http://www.win95h.../

Here's how I archived all the theme files after grabbing the HTML pages with my usual wget-mirror alias:

  [lammy@popola#moz_addons] pwd
  /spinthedisc/Backups/WWW/Computers/Mozilla/Appearance/projectit.com/moz_addons

  [lammy@popola#moz_addons] grep moz_addons ../*.html | \
  sed -E "s/.*moz_addons\/([^\"'\\]*).*/https:\/\/projectit\.com\/moz_addons\/\1/g" | \
  uniq | xargs wget
