I was reminded of the excellent infinitemac.org (h/t @adriansdigitalbasement.com)

A collection of classic Macintosh / NeXT OSes & software, all accessible from your web browser.

Use a computer from the 1980s or 1990s running in a virtual machine on your browser. It's cool!

A classic Mac loaded with everything you'd want.
