An article at Gizmodo, it begins:
"The fact that Grackle68k exists is wonderful for two reasons:
First, and most obvious, is because it makes for a bizarre juxtaposition between the ancient OS 9 (or OS 8, or Systems 6 and 7) and Twitter, and self-consciously modern online service that would've seemed ridiculous in the age of the Bondi Blue iMac and the online casino. And second, because the tiny slice of the population who still earnestly uses OS 9 is either clinically paranoid, hasn't read a software review since the year 2000, or is stuck with a 10-year-old desktop by some truly bizarre or unfortunate circumstance, all of which would make for some top-rate tweeting."
