    I'm Sorry ....

    He doesn't know who the scammer is. He doesn't know if he has his real name or not. Besides, if the scammer actually is a scammer, he would have used an alias. I'll bet that CaryMG doesn't even have a legitimate email address for this guy. So he wouldn't even be able to track him down...

    I'm Sorry ....

    An old friend of mine once said, "I like apple pie. I derive no joy, however, from watching someone else eat it." Interpret it as you will. [:D] ]'>

    I'm Sorry ....

    Why don't you just sit down with CodeWarrior and start coding the game yourself. I bet you'll find that writing the game is as much fun as playing it. I can't begin to tell you how it feels to write some code, compile it, and see it actually work. It's an amazing feeling to produce code...

    Welcome the brand new *NIX forum

    How about this? *NIX, *NUX, *UX, *X, & *BSD That name would cover every conceivable UNIX variant or derivative capable of running on 68k Macintosh or PowerPC. By the way, the *X covers Mac OS X. And the *UX covers A/UX. *NUX covers Linux. *NIX covers Minix, etcetera. *BSD covers...

    Darwin OpenDarwin

    Was looking at some screenshots over at www.mplayerhq.hu and stumbled upon this. Which got me to thinking... Does anyone here run Darwin or OpenDarwin on a PowerMac that is NOT running Mac OS X? Looks like someone is running AfterStep in OpenDarwin in that screenshot.

    Welcome the brand new *NIX forum

    I'm a sucker for sentimentality, so my vote is that we just leave it as is. There's something about *NIX that just seems to fit. [:D] ]'>

    Liberated a Colour Classic!

    The Color Classic is an interesting machine. Yours has pretty much the same specs that mine had, only mine had an Apple IIe card in the PDS slot and it ran an English System 7. The Color Classic is fun to play with but, as you pointed out, slow. It's also incredibly limited. It can only...

    What to do with a 7200?

    A decent *nix computer that did what? That's the question. My 7300 is running Debian Etch at the moment. It has all of my PPC *nix needs covered. What could I possibly hope to do with the 7200 and Linux or *BSD?

    What to do with a 7200?

    To the trash heap it goes. I'll keep the power supply as a spare for my 7300. I'll also keep the memory for whatever. Not that four 8MB DIMMs will ever see much use in the "afterlife". The hard drive can replace the 400MB unit in the Quadra 700. The Plastic part of the case has almost no...

    Macintosh SE SuperDrive and SCSI Zip 100 Drive

    How much do ZIP disks sell for these days? Do they even make and sell them anymore? Probably would have been cheaper to buy a bigger hard drive for your Quadra 700. Nice SE!

    What to do with a 7200?

    I have an old 7200/90 and I don't know what to do with it. It's too slow for use as a web browsing machine. I could use it as a dedicated word processor/fax station, but my Quadra 700 is a better choice for that because it runs quieter and feels more responsive than the 7200. (Speeddoubler...

    Clarisworks, Sit Extractor, And Internet Sharing

    I've just reached the conclusion that there aren't any good text browsers for the Classic Macintosh. MacLynx is an awful port of the *nix text browser Lynx. It's crippled, slow, and awkward to use. WannaBe seemed promising, but it appears that its author has abandoned it. It's too basic...

    Clarisworks, Sit Extractor, And Internet Sharing

    You sure are a glutton for punishment, huh? What does the PowerBook have? A 16MHz 68030 processor and maybe 10MB of RAM? I couldn't even imagine trying to browse the web with that. Not with anything graphical anyway. A text browser might suit your purposes though. Something along the...

    Is there a market for Quadras?

    Fifty bucks? Hmmm, I'd say a reasonable price for a Quadra 800 with a monitor and printer is somewhere between free and $20. These are machines that should really be retired. So people don't want to spend much money on them unless they're diehard collectors that need that one last bit or...

    PCI Cards for PowerMacs

    What PC PCI cards can be used in a Macintosh? I know that I can use certain PC Ethernet cards in a PowerMac, and use them in Classic Mac OS -- depending on driver availability. I know that I can use just about any PCI ethernet card in existence on a PowerMac running Linux. I know that I can...

    w00t.

    True. But a Quadra 840AV cluster would consume considerably more space and not look as cute on a shelf. The Q700 and Q605 have the Q840AV beat for cuteness. And the compact sizes of the Q700 and Q605 make them more attractive from a space perspective. The important point is that a 68k Mac...

    w00t.

    Your link doesn't work. WooT! (I don't want a couple of zeros.) I want a Q650 too. A Q650, Q605, and Q840AV are the only 68k machines on my wishlist. Once I get these three machines, I'm not snatching up anymore 68k Macintoshes. Except maybe a PowerBook 540C. (Okay, so I'm secretly...
