I cut my teeth on system 7 (well, 7.5) and this is news to me. Did it get quickly nuked?

Nope, it’s been part of Mac OS ever since, partly because math teachers loved how it let kids play with math.

Now it’s called Grapher.

I think I found the gap in my knowledge: it looks like it only shipped with PPC versions. I had a 68k Performa as a teenager. By the time I got a PPC box it was well into system 8's lifespan and I had stopped opening every little thing, probably due to internet providing those dopamine hits lol.

Thank you, TIL!
