Upon further inspection, this appears to be an in-development build of AOL 2.0 or 2.0.1. There are folders referencing AOL 2.0.1 here, although they are blank. The dates line up much more closely than version 1.0.

@mac84tv@bitbang.social Wow. Someone should reverse engineer the internals needed for setting up the server, host it somewhere and make a new client to connect over TCP/IP directly 🥰

@Cdespinosa@mastodon.social am I misremembering, or did AOL and AppleLink share DNA? (I do remember that the eWorld app was a reskin of AOL?)

@mac84tv@bitbang.social Sadly screenshots of old Macs always make me depressed by reminding me how good the Finder used to be and how bad it is today. How far backwards we've travelled since the days of windows with titlebars, identifiable resize corners, easily identifiable active windows, real draggable scrollbars, etc. Many UI designers today would be better off working in the fashion industry as clearly fashion, what's trendy at the moment and change for the sake of change, are what they are driven by, not human factors engineering principles.

@mac84tv@bitbang.social It is good they put an Apple logo in it or I would have forgotten that I was accessing AOL through an Apple I mean it's easy to forget what with there being an Apple in front of me the whole time I am on AOL.

I remember SyQuest drives. I vaguely imagined I'd some day have a whole library of SyQuest cartridges, it sure seemed like the future to me!
