    Java SE 6.0 Release 1 Developer Preview 2?

    Rumor has it that this is the last release of Java 6 that would install on a G5... unfortunately the file seems to have vanished from the internet. It was pushed to ADC on 17 May 2006. Anyone have a copy floating around?

    Hotline server for *nix

    I'm trying to set up a hotline server for the classic mac crew over on SA forums, and I can't find a working hotline server daemon out there. shxd consistently segfaults when a user connects and mhxd prints several pages of errors when I try to build it.

    I turn my back for just a second...

    ...and look what happens. Three years later, I finally remember this place and decide to check in. So, what's new? I've gotten up to date on most of what's happened recently... server died, no backups, yada yada yada. As for me, I've graduated high school and will be going on to some form of...
