The Most Useless Software Ever (Mine)

Okay, so I need to update one of my websites and, before I do, I thought I would present what is possibly the most useless piece of classic Mac OS software ever, the Pet Stone:

Pet Stone v1.2

This was one of (I think) three pieces of software I released back in the day. I tested it on a 68040 and PPC 601 machine; I guess I never indicated system requirements. When you "run" it, it just displays a message and asks for a shareware fee. The P.O. Box is no longer mine, which is one of the reasons I need to update the website. Maybe I'll update the software to v1.2.1 or something and update the address in it too. I doubt there will be any demand for it, but might be fun to keep it up on the website for nostalgia.

Anyway, if anyone wants to download it, there it is. If it "runs" or doesn't run, let me know so I can update the system requirements.

Also, the site was designed in the late nineties, so it might be accessible on older machines that are connected to the Internet. I am pretty sure it was designed for a 640x480 display.

That's pretty awesome!
Honestly, I think the only thing I would do with the website, is center it. We need more simple on the internet. And your site is delightfully simple!
I would test out Pet Stone, but I've not got my Mac set up yet. Performa 640CD DOS Compatible. If I remember once I get it set up, I'll test out Pet Stone for you! :)
