Fiend 2.0b4 was compiled for Rhapsody 5.3 and later... and like a lot of apps developed at the time, it needs the latest version of OmniFrameWorks installed. I don't have a copy of 2.0b4 handy, mainly because I make extensive use of the Apple menu for my apps and the switcher menu (like all...

I actually used an 8600 for a few years to do video capture, so I'll describe what I used and why... hopefully it'll be helpful. Processor... I was using a G3/350 upgrade card. It was a nice speed bump and helped most with the video editing later on (I'd capture uncompressed video, edit the...

Yeah... I'm that crazy Rhapsody guy. And it is nice to hear that the site is helping people. I know I need to update some of it (and maybe put mirrors of dead links on the site). Oddly enough, it was installing a larger hard drive to run Mac OS X Server 1.2 on my Wallstreet that brought the...

I'll throw this out here, though I don't know if this is your issue... the Wallstreets had issues with some hard drives that produced a magnetic field (mostly those made by IBM) that isn't an issue when using the same drives in just about any other type of PowerBook (I had a 40 GB drive that...

What would make you think that Corel forced that? While they are unwilling to devote server space for products they have released for free to the public (and are years out of date), they have never asked anyone to stop providing them from other sites. Usually if the links die it has to do with...

The keyboard on my 280 felt so much nicer than the keyboard that came on my 2300c that I swapped them. I'm a little picky about keyboards though... I bought a replacement for my 3400c because the original just didn't feel right to me.

Why would you want to be running Flash Player 6 rather than Flash Player 7 on your system? Flash Player 7 isn't any slower (that I have ever noticed) than 6 on any of my 8.6 systems. Hmmm... And just in case this is because you saw something that said it requires Mac OS 9... 99% of everything...

I'm used to having just a little more desktop space on my Quadra 950 than that ;) , but what was it that kept you off the net for a week?

Seems like a rather odd omission, but why hasn't anyone pointed out A/UX Penelope? It is far easier to find Apple's PDF manuals on that site's downloads page than to find similar info on Apple's site. The caretakers of Apple's support archives have a poor track record of retaining older info (I...

Yeah, the thing that makes any OS useful is having useful applications, and I've been lucky enough to put together a good solid collection of apps that let me be quite productive within Rhapsody. Sadly these apps are getting more and more rare as time goes on. Developers who were willing to...

Well, this challenge idea sounds fun, but I would most likely have to use something fairly old (like my Quadra 950) to make it really a challenge though. In my computing environment 1997 was a landmark year for hardware for me. Four of my main systems were released in that year and all are...
