Since first launching this website the name hasn't sat right with me and I have long tossed up changing names/domain name. The term Classic is an ambiguous term in the vintage Macintosh space for multiple reasons.

The Classic environment was an emulated environment created by Apple that allowed Mac OS X users to run applications built for Mac OS 9 under OSX. To most Mac users who went through this transition period, Classic is immediately relatable to the Classic Environment.

Apple also released two machines called the Macintosh Classic, and Classic II.

The original intention behind the word Classic was to convey timelessness/vintage. This website doesn't focus on the Classic Environment or the Macintosh Classic, and the name was poorly thought out from the beginning.

Proposed Changes

To address this I'm leaning towards renaming the website to Mac Attic. I've owned the mac-attic.com domain for over 10 years, and while it was used briefly before mac-classic.com, it has sat abandoned during most of this time. I intend on keeping the mac-classic.com domain, so I would permanently redirect mac-classic.com to mac-attic.com where this website would be hosted.
