Service Source, MacX, Books, & Software

[olePigeon]

Took a visit to WeirdStuff today.  I didn't buy anything, but luck would have it I didn't have to.  Their free area had a TON of goodies in it.

I found Service Source manuals for every Mac from the 128k through the IIci, also LaserWriters.  Spiral bound version.  Also has a troubleshooting diskette.

In addition, I also found MacX 1.5 for Macintosh (XWindows manager for Classic), Timbuktu 2.0, and ScreenRecorder 1.0 (should be very handy.  I wanna make some videos of classic games without the need of an emulator.)

Also a few books I snagged: MacTech special issue with BeOS DR8 (CD still in it), Tao of AppleScript, OS 9 Missing Manual, Macworld Guide to 7.1, and Macworld Guide to Networking.

Nice score! I got MacX 2.0.3 recently. Need to give it a spin.

Someone was excited about BeOS running on a Mac?

BeOS was super awesome.  Lightyears ahead of Mac OS and Windows.

I loved BeOS and enjoyed playing with it back when it still might have been the new Mac OS.  

What OS (versions) are supported by MacX?

Cool finds!

Swanky!The WeirdStuff seems like quite the source.

I remember when they released BeOS free on the PC, and thats when I toyed with it.
