Version 1.0 of Packard bell navigator in that video reminds me of the Macintosh "at ease" software I used to see in schools.

Totally off topic, I'm reminded that a high school friend gave me an old Packard bell machine for free once, and I ran OpenBSD on it for years. I got some ISA NICs and used it as a firewall.

Oh gawd I remember Mac "At Ease." That was the dumbed down lockdown software they used to make the computers at the school labs fun proof.

My father installed it on our family mac. I somehow discovered that by quickly rebooting twice, it would start the usual Finder shell instead, albeit in English instead of the configured Norwegian. Fun times.
