URetro okwangoku usefashonini. Ngapha koko, kubonakala ngathi Amakhasethi amakhasethi afumana ulutsha lwesibini kwakhona. Kodwa ukuba sithetha ngeenkqubo ezisebenzayo, izinto zahlukile kuba iinguqulelo ezindala azinako ukusinika imveliso esiyonwabelayo namhlanje. Ikhompyuter iguqukile kakhulu kule minyaka idlulileyo kwaye abafana be-Intanethi boVimba benza i-database engakholelekiyo kungekuphela kwezicelo kodwa kunye neenkqubo zokusebenza. Ayisiyo eyokuqala ayizukuba yeyokugqibela ukuba sithethe ngaba bantu. Ngeli xesha sithetha ukukubonisa ulongezo lwamva nje abalwenzileyo.
Sithetha ngayo 6 y 7, iinkqubo ezimbini ezisebenzayo hit ityala lemarike ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-80 nakwiminyaka yama-90 ukuya kuma-Macs ezazisemarikeni ngelo xesha. Indawo yokugcina i-Intanethi ayisiniki ithuba lokuzikhuphela, ngenxa yezizathu zomthetho ngokucacileyo, kodwa abasivumeli ukuba sizisebenzise ngokubulela kwi-emulator apho yenziwa khona, ukuze sikwazi ukuyisebenzisa nakuphi na isikhangeli kwintengiso, kubandakanya ezo ziyafumaneka kumaqonga athwalekayo.
Phakathi kweenkqubo zenkqubo, usetyenziso, imidlalo, izixhobo kunye nezixhobo esizifumanayoIhyperCard, iziseko zeMacintosh, iiPhaneli zoLawulo, I-BBEdit Lite, iMacDraw, iMacPaint, iMicrosoft Excel, iMicrosoft Word, iMicrosoft Works, iOrion, iPagemaker, iZTerm, Umngcipheko, iCannon Fodder, Shufflepuck, Ukuseta i-HD, i-Disinfectant, i-Disk Copy, i-ResEdit, i-TeachText, i-Compact Pro, i-Mac Gzip, iMar, i-Stuffit Expander, i-Stuffit Lite, Alarm Clock, Calculator, Qaphela iPad, iPuzzle kunye ne-Scrapbook.
Ukusebenza kwe-emulator, njengoko kuhlala kwenzeka kuninzi lolu hlobo, iyacothaNangona sine-Mac enamandla, kodwa ubuncinci iyasivumela ukuba sonwabe, okanye sibandezeleke, njengoko zazinjalo iinkqubo ezisebenzayo zeMac phantse kwiminyaka engama-30 eyadlulayo.
