But....but.....GNOME is better! :lol: I kid, I kid. :) I have to be honest that I do enjoy pretty much all of the desktop environments and window managers out there (I can even appreciate twm for what it is, and it has been useful to me when I've needed it). I do think that GNU/Linux is...

My wife's cousin had one of these. Unfortunately, he gutted it and put the parts in a generic ATX case. My father-in-law has been using it as his main PC for some years now. He's even upgraded the CPU to 1 GHz with a spare I had.

I have a link for it already in one of my posts above. :D

It does. I've converted some PICT files that way as well. I don't recall if GIMP will open them though. I'll have to double check.

I think I might actually participate this year. I've got a month to come up with something. Eh, I'll think about it tomorrow.... :lol:

Congratulations on the laptop.

I've used JPEGview to convert PICT files to something more portable on my older Mac. You might want to give that a try. That, or the 68K version of GraphicConverter. http://www.mac.org/graphics/jpegview/ http://www.lemkesoft.com/content/207/download-old-versions.html

Wow...these pictures take me back to the 90s when I wish I could have run something like that on our Mac at the time. Thank you for showing this to us.

Here's what the WINE AppDB ways about Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3673 As for whether it will work with WINE under FreeBSD, I'm not sure but I imagine it wouldn't matter.

They also had a compact Mac on the first episode of Chuck.

If you could find a way to fit one in there, but it's pretty cramped as it is. Regardless, the issue is one with faulty capacitors, so no amount of cooling might make a difference.

I'm assuming it's an iMac G5 iSight model. Be aware that these (along with the previous two revision of the iMac G5) suffer from the problem covered in this repair program from Apple. http://www.apple.com/au/support/imac/powersupply/repairextension/ In addition, Popular Mechanics had an...

I see your challenge and I'll up the ante by saying that the vintage PC should in fact be running Microsoft BOB. :p That said, welcome! :beige:

This is good to know as I've never actually gotten far enough to run X on 68K Unix. I've heard others say that it's unusably slow so I kind of took it at face value. :I

I second what porter said. You could be exposing yourself to some trouble, so best to err on the side of caution and reformat the Mac.

Although, if you DID want a NeXTSTEP-looking interface, there's always Window Maker. But be aware that X Windows would probably run slower than a rotting dog covered in tar.

As far as I know, this isn't possible. However, you can see about installing NetBSD on there or even GNU/Linux (specifically Debian/m68k).

Hell, I could put that P90 to some good use. :D

I remember using FreePPP YEARS ago when my family purchased a Performa 6220CD. Worked great at the time before Open Transport came on the scene.

Yup, mine's the same revision model. I was a bit bummed to find out only weeks after I purchased my 2 GHz ALS model that the iSight model was released, but upon learning how user-accessible my revision of the iMac was, I didn't feel so bad anymore. ;)
