Operating System / Booting 7.6.1 from CD
March 23, 2008, 05:13 |
No, it won't display an icon on my desktop after I load a cd-rom. That's why I thought it may be a driver issue. I know my system is dated, but I assumed that most systems had a drive bootable option written in the BIOS on the ROM. |

Operating System / Booting 7.6.1 from CD
March 21, 2008, 05:01 |
I have an Apple CD 150 that seems to work fine - other than I the fact that I have no CD Caddy (yet). So I bought an Apple CD 600e, but when I restart and hold down "c" it won't boot from disc. I do have an Apple CD extension in my system folder, but it's version 3.2. I don't know if this extension would work for the 600e. Does anybody out there know how I could boot my Performa 430 from disc using a 600e? |

I haven't thought about that in years. I'd forgotten about Jobs talking Woz into making Breakout for Atari. And only giving him four days to do it. And when Woz did it, Jobs telling Woz that Atari had only given him $700.00 for the project, and halfing it with him. Even though Atari had given Jobs a few thousand dollars. I 've always been more of a Wozniak fan, even though I still have alot of respect for Jobs... And still think Jobs is alot more ethical than Gates ever thought about. That little weasel pisses me off everytime... |

Hardware / can it be done!!
March 15, 2008, 20:47 |
I agree with everyone, it can be done, and simply so. But ethernet is a much better way to do this... go to www.welovemacs.com and check out the Nubus Combo 10base-T Ethernet Card (p/n 1000192)for $30.00. A good option for Mac II's. |

Just goes to show that being a good business person is alot like being a good friend, or lover. With obvious exceptions. The keys are honesty, good listening skills, and even better communication skills. |

The Woz choose to leave Apple, it wasn't Jobs. Hell, even Jobs left Apple to concentrate on Next Software and Pixar. From what I hear Jobs and Woz are still close friends, and the speculations otherwise are mere rumor. |

I sound elementary, but forgive the slight ignorance... I've been head deep in the Linux kernel for way too long. I'm still knocking the dust off... |

Are we really having an Apple vs. Microsoft discussion on a forum page hosted by a website that was created for users of Apple products? I don't see the logic in this, but here I go... It is fact that Bill Gates started Microsoft solely as a producer of software languages. In fact when IBM contacted Gates for an operating system for their new PC computer line in the late '70's, Gates refered them to a company called Digital Research that was founded by Gary Kildall who had invented an operating system called CP/M. The first disk operating system for microcomputers. Kildall passed on IBM's proposition because they insisted that they gained all rights to the code CP/M was based on and had the right to rename the OS. Gates seized this opportunity by flying him and his partner Paul Allen to Florida and selling IBM on a Microsoft OS that wasn't in existence. Untill this time the two of them never had the disire to code an OS, let alone have a fully coded and stable platform to sell. Back in Seattle, the two of them found a company called Seattle Computer Products that had made an OS called Q-DOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System). This was essentially a CP/M clone that offered no new innovation. They bought it out right for $75,000 and sold it to IBM as MS-DOS. And thus started Microsoft's business practice of robbing truly innovative software and passing it on as their own, or stomping the innovators that may pose a threat to their monopoly out of existance. For proof, just read about the rise and fall of Netscape. I believe in being moral, prescribing to a code of ethics that foster equality and kinship. I will not support any company that adopts fear, aggresion, dishonesty, and theft to survive and/or dominate the market. I don't shop at Wal-Mart, I hate McDonald's, and I will not trust my digital life to Microsoft. I don't care if PC hardware is better or worse that Apple hardware. I don't care if OS X is as hard to learn as Windows. All I care about is the fact that Steve Jobs has continued to innovate and stay competitive while still being ethical in his business approach. |

I agree that if a developer is playing it safe and only doing what is expected, they deserve no praise. If they are under performing they sould know that we have taken notice. In numbers, it might scare them to rise at least back to thier normal level of performance. If a company is willing to take risks, to innovate, and perform above the publics high expectation... there's no shame in showing your appreciation. Isn't that why we're all Apple fans? |
