The Restart Page – Tribute to Old Operating System

·


Since it is the weekends, I am not going to publish anything geeky or technical today. However I want to share a website called The Restart Page which simulates unlimited rebooting experience from vintage operating systems. Basically the web page is created as a tribute to the most significant operating systems that has been part of our geek lives. The page contains 17 restart options where it will emulate the restart process of the operating system. It really does bring back some good old memories by just looking at the restart simulation…

The Restart Page simulates reboot for the following operating systems: Amiga Workbench, Apple II, Mac OS 7, Mac OS 9, Mac OS 10, Openstep, Rhapsody, Rhapsody DR2 MS OS/2 Warp, QNX, Windows 1, Windows 3, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

The Restart Page

I noticed that if I visited The Restart Page before and opens the website again at a later time, I get stuck at “THE RESTART PAGE IS NOW LOADING…” and the progress bar doesn’t move. All you need to do is refresh the page the the progress bar starts updating and then load the page with 17 shut down options.

I am able to recognize only half of the restart window. How many restarts are you able to recognize from the page?
