Operating System / What do YOU do with System 7?
March 01, 2011, 17:09 |
Hi everybody. I am just getting my 9600/200 set up with 7.6.1. I am planning on getting Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere running on this machine and work on family videos and personal design projects. I am a motion graphics designer/animator that uses After Effects practically every day. I learned After Effects on version 3.1 back in 1997 or 98 and would love to get it back on this machine and start using it again. I just need to find it somewhere... I am wondering, what do other folks out there do with their old System 7 setups? There are some obvious limitations to running this old OS in 2011 and beyond so what exactly are you personally doing with your vintage computers? Using them as servers? Print design? Web design? Writing? Programming? Let's hear your story about how you are productive (or semi-productive) on your old Mac. -Gary |

I must have mistyped on eBay. I did it again and found a few copies for sale. |

New Member Welcome / Up and running (sort of)
February 26, 2011, 20:49 |
I got my new (old) PowerMac 9600/200 up and running. I picked it up a few weeks ago but just found the time to start it up for the first time. It came running OS 8.5.1 so now I obviously need to down (up!)-grade it to System 7.6.1. Which brings me to my first and foremost question: were the heck do I find a copy of System 7.6? No luck on eBay. If anyone can help me there, please reply. Thanks. Gary |

My first Mac was a PowerMac 6100/60AV that I bought from the back of Macworld magazine in 1994 or '95. I remember how fast it was when I got it and how incredibly slow it was when I had OS9 on it. I learned how to use Photoshop and After Effects on that machine and eventually became an animator for television (motion graphics, not character or 3D animator). I've since moved on to other things but always loved my first Mac and fiddling with Conflict Catcher to keep things running smooth. I am currently posting on Craigslist looking for a good deal on an 8600 or 9600. Hopefully, I'll be back in the past soon. Gary Ocean Grove, NJ |
