Yah that 7500 woulda been just four or five years old at the time of this photo. I recall it being ballpark state of the art back then. There was also a 6100 which -- even in the late 1990s -- struck me as awfully slow. It's in the dark room in the front and to the right (can't see it.) There's...

You are correct. That would have been around 1999-2001 or so.

Speaking of which ... here it is! The foreground Mac is the 7500 I used. Note Mountain Dew, 35mm negative SCSI scanner, police scanner, flatbed scanner (also SCSI). Nikon D1 on the floor.

Well I used to use PS 3.05 professionally 1998-2002 at a weekly newspaper. On a PowerMac 7500/100 running System 7.6 (iirc). And I don't recall the desktop ever changing in brightness while adjusting levels and curves. But click off Video LUT in preferences seems more like I remember. Thanks for...

The problem doesn't manifest at all in version 6, btw.

Wow. Which SATA card are you using?

Both SCSI cards are the Mac ones, for sure. I know coz I also have a PC one that I tried first XD. Do SATA cards work with MacOS 8.6 and the G3?

I currently have a 2.3GB IDE drive that works fine. But I would like a SCSI drive ... because SCSI. SCSI is smooth. I recently purchased a Fujitsu MAB3091SP 68-pin SCSI drive and plugged it in to my 2940U2W SCSI card. Drive Setup didn't want to recognize the drive as the drive isn't an official...

Oh, Sherlock. Yeah probably it. :)

Hello! My Mac sounds like it's doing something (MacOS 8.6) and I'm curious if there's something like Un*x "top" command for Classic MacOS? An activity monitor ...

Hrm well I don't recall this happening with PS 3.05 on my PowerMac 7500 with OS 7.6 nor on my IIsi with OS 7.6. I think it's something with the G3/400 running 8.6. Or maybe a quirk of the ATI Rage 128 card.

Oh Geez. I just discovered another fact: The problem goes away if I tick the "preview" button in the curves tool. I took some screen shots to show how adjusting curves also makes the desktop adjust the same amount ... but the screenshots don't show the problem! Ha! How odd. I snapped some pix...

It's set to millions. The desktop goes back to normal once the adjustment is made.

Hello. Blue and white G3, MacOS 8.6. Photoshop 3. If I open a photograph in PS, and adjust levels or curves for midtones, let's say, then the image becomes lighter or darker (normal). But also the desktop itself becomes lighter or darker the same degree. Anyone know what's going on? I noticed...

Hello! I recently acquired a Blue and White G3 and what a beautiful machine it is (even though this one has obviously lived a hard life, judging from all the scuffs!) I'd like to add a PCI SCSI card so I can run a Polaroid Sprintscan. I bought an Adaptec AHA-2930CU off ebay, not realizing that...
