The Tiny Computers app lets you play with old computers on the iPhone Duo. Ten machines included: “Macintosh, Commodore 64, IBM PC, Amiga 500, Windows 95, ThinkPad, iMac G3, iBook G3, PowerBook G4 and Windows XP.” XP even crashes sometimes. Love this.

Bring on the eMate 300 emulator.

It reminds me a bit of the "Order an Object" program from the Victoria&Albert East museum, where you can order an object of the collection and have it looked at up close with a conservator. 

When we were there in March this year, someone had ordered an eMate 300. 

This is museology at its best.

From Cabel Sasser on Bluesky:

trying this "tiny computer" app on my duo, and it's such a fun idea. yet i've also never felt more attacked. this whole app is nerd bait. this was created by someone who has never used any of these computers once but has a claude subscription.
