I wanted to cry.
I don't think System 7 had window shades though. Eghh, close enough! Played lots and lots of Tetris for nostalgia's sake.

Hmmm
Hard to say. The look definitely is more 6ish, but that's because they're emulating 7 on a b&w (that's black & white, not blue & white) mac. Although the version of MacWrite they show is like v1.0 of that, so they're mixing genres.
Of course, I could just plug in my PowerMac 7100 for System 7 goodness (or my Classic for System 6 goodness, or my FatMac for 3.x goodness) or dig up my 128K for some 1.0 goodness.

Window shade
It didn't have it built-in, but there was a control panel to do this. It was called WindowShade, which Apple bought and hacked into the OS itself in v7.5. (Ahh, v7.5, basically v7.1 with 18 add-ons that were once shareware add-ons).

Funny
Is there a shortage of Mac SE machines? I've still got mine, ready to go.

Arghh
The picture is a Mac Plus (or is it a 512?) not an SE. Good grief.

Takes me back to college!
Ah... the good old days. It was 1998 and I just dropped $3,000 on a "student priced" Mac SE with a--wait for it--40 MB hard drive! Oh how I loved playing Prince of Persia, Sim City and Wizardry on that little beast! I even had a 1,400 baud Hayes modem, with which I was able to hook into my local university's BBS. I even registered for classes online!
Just think what three grand would buy you now!

Whoops! 1988!
Not 1998! I think the three grand included a printer and some basic productivity software.
