There is no 4.0.8 for Classic OS. Unless VersionTracker is out of date. Anyway, I tried the unofficial Drumbeat client and it still doesn't work.

It's racist.

I tried that but you'd be surprised what an effect it has. Before I got wifi up and running, I trashed all the internet extensions, and so Quicktime wouldn't work! A whole lot of other programmes went on strike as well due to various missing libraries that I was sure I didn't need. Then when...

Oh dear me, that is disgraceful. That I could have made such an obvious grammatical error is horrifying. I must have been having a blond moment this morning. I will now kill myself. "Avec mon tout dernier souffle je défendrai la pureté de la langue Française!" - François de Malherbe

They do have one advantage - at least there are fewer Kiwis there!

You'd think they'd provide a bleedin' manual, wouldn't you? Well, I can't find even one server address on the web so I'm left to assume that all the wifi spots I've been using have blocked it. Bum. I won't be able to download all those Village People albums after all. :'( :'(

Oh sorry mate, didn’t mean to insult you. :) Just that my natural prejudices lead me to expect that everyone from Queensland is a bundy-swilling ute-driving sugar cane farmer, everyone from Sydney is either a yuppie or gay, everyone from Canberra is a public servant and everyone from...

Then Low End Mac is wrong. According to them, they were only sold for one month!

I’ll make sure I never shake your hand then! :) You don’t wear flannelette do you? One bloke I know who’s a bit of a bogan wears flannies absolutely everywhere except Church…He wears flanny pyjamas too and sometimes I reckon he’s been too lazy to change out of ‘em and is just wearing ‘em...

I’m all for men acting like men and women acting like women, but then on the other hand I also believe that blokes who obsess too much about being a man or those who go out of their way to posture a macho image are more likely to be insecure about their own manhood. Whenever I see a bloke with...

Ah well, just wondering for down the track when your Leopard cravings start – you know, the “Aw, I really wish three-quarters of my 500 gig hard disk was taken up with historical backups” sort of routine. I think you were spot on when you said that desktop OSes have reached the point where...

What makes you think I wasn't serious? I've seen it done before...It was in the house of a friend of mine – him and his bloody Feng Shui! [:D] ]'> [ :D ] Aw come on, surely old G4s don't still command high prices, even in Britain! Or are you morally opposed to paying anything for Mac...

Silly!! I doubt he'll get that for the power supply. Some eBay sellers have their heads in the clouds. I don't understand how some of them break even - charging almost retail price for things when people could just go out and buy them immediately for only a little bit extra. Or sometimes the...

Nice! You are a man with TASTE!! The only lunchbox I’ve ever owned was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one. Now, in my old age, I must admit to having become conservative and boring in the lunchbox department – now I just have one of those plain plastic Décor containers. Where do ya find all...

So you can't find a cheap low-end G4 anywhere? The low end ones are at the point of being sold very cheaply, if not yet given away. But then again I guess if you're G3's running well enough it shouldn't be a worry - unless Apple really pull a rabbit out of their hat with Leopard. As for the...

That bloke has probably been sitting there every day typing in "duo dock" just waiting for one to come up. [:D] ]'> Rather like what I do with Edwardian gilded monogrammed snuff boxes.

Oh - dead. Missed that bit. Well, I hope it's acceptable considering what I did to that dead Classic, if anyone remembers that. A dock is a bit rarer though I s'pose.

Pass... [8D] I love the Wallstreet through Pismo design of the Powerbooks but personally think the graphite G4s were the peak of Apple's desktop design. And the extra speed running the real OS is handy of course! OS9 on my G4 - to quote Clarkson, "IT RUNS LIKE A B*****D!" As soon as you...

Oh my gosh, forty pound? What a tart! 8-o Still, I guess there had to be one rich person with an insatiable fetish for old Mac gear in the world! Good to know we won't have to give you a dishonourable discharge! [8D]
