New Member Welcome / Introduction
August 11, 2006, 23:56 |
I am a member of the Apple Consultant Network, have extensive experience working on Operating Systems from 7.1 to 10.4.7 and I have repaired older Macs from PowerBooks to the current hardware. I have used Macs since the mid-80's, which was a brand new Mac Plus. Along the way I have owned a Mac SE (FD), Performa 550, the Blackbird (PowerBook 540c), Power Computing Powerwave 604, PowerMac 8500, PowerMac 8600, PowerMac 9600, PowerMac G4 Sawtooth, PowerBook TiBook G4 and PowerBook G4 Alum. I currently use a PowerMac G4 Sawtooth, PowerMac 8600/G4 420Mhz (OS 9.2.1) and PowerBook G4 Aluminum. I've probably missed some. I have owned Apple QuickTake cameras models 150 and 200, StyleWriter, Color StyleWriter 2400 and LaserWriter 8500 (currently in use). I have owned several Epson color printers and also currently use a Stylus Color 980N. Other than OS X, the best OS's I've used are 7.1, 7.6.1 and 9.x. OS 7.1 is very limited in being usable as a modern operating system, but it is exceptionally stable. OS 7.6.1 works very well in most environments and was excellent as an all around OS for the early days of the internet. OS 9.x was certainly an improvement, but not quite as stable as the the earlier OS's. As you may have noticed above, I use OS 9.2.1 on my upgraded PowerMac 8600. This is primarily because some critical software I use will not run on either earlier OS's or OS X (classic applications only). Although I have broadband access, I use a Global Village TelePort desktop modem for FAX reception using their Voice/FAX sensing software (if a FAX comes in, the software automatically senses it's a data call and connects to the GlobalFAX software). I have used and will continue to use WordPerfect 3.5 for the Mac (since version 2.1) since it's so versatile, powerful yet uncomplicated (unlike another "Word" processor). I've never had any virus issues with it either. Enough of my introduction... |

Classifieds / Older items for sale
August 11, 2006, 23:17 |
As a member of the Apple Consultant Network, I have provided repair, replacement, troubleshooting, upgrades, etc. for the Apple community for many years. I have many older items (software, hardware, parts) and a few new items available for purchase. Some available items are NFR (not for resale), so they can only be acquired if you purchase another item. I will not sell any hardware item that I cannot determine with certainty that it's fully operational, unless you are willing to chance it. BTW, I do not keep junk, so if I have it, it should be operational, although I may not be able to test it today. If you are looking for a specific product, contact me here or by email and if I don't have it, I'll try to locate it for you. I'm reasonable if you want to purchase from me, since not everything in this world is free. |

Off Topic Discussion / filesharing between 9.1 and 10.4
August 11, 2006, 22:55 |
In a mixed environment, I've found that sharing OS 9.1 works better than sharing OS X. You didn't indicate which version of X you are using. |

Software / Adobe Reader
August 11, 2006, 22:47 |
I have older versions of Acrobat Reader available. Although Acrobat Reader has always been free, but I'm not sure if there's any issue with Adobe for distributing older versions that are not currently available online. Acrobat Reader 2.1: 2.7MB File size Requires 68020 processor minimum, does not support Kanji Mac OS 7.0 minimum 2MB RAM minimum, 4MB hard drive space Acrobat Reader 3.02: 5.1MB File size Requires 68020 processor minimum Mac OS 7.0 minimum 4MB RAM minimum, 8MB hard drive space |

If you still need it, I have a used internal 16x/10x/40x CDRW (write/rewrite/read; all maximum speeds), Yamaha model CRW2100S available. I would sell for $60 + shipping. The Yamaha manual is available at: http://www.yamahamultimedia.com/yec/helpcenter/manuals/CRW2100S_E_A01.PDF Let me know if you're interested. This CDRW is currently installed and used in an 9600/233 running OS 9.x. If you need software, I may have Toast 4.x, but I don't know if it works with OS 7.x. |
