Why a Mac?
« on: Jan 17th, 2004, 1:16pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
Well, are I not a linux guy? Well, heck yeah!  But, I picked up this old mac for $10.  It had a 1.2 gig scsi drive, 120 megs of memory and pci slots.  It's a PowerMac 7200/180 model.  I obtained MacOS 8.5 and needed to load that first.  I have MacOS 9.1 as well, but, that cannot be loaded at the beginning because a "old world" Mac cannont boot it.  For an old machine, it runs pretty good.  For the browser, I downloaded WamCom, which is a fully patched Mozilla 1.3.1.  So, I am very modern at that point.  I got ChitChat for Yahoo Chat and Jabbernaut for my Jabber/IM needs.

ooooo, a shiny new mac.  Sometime, I'll lay hands on one of those color iMacs.  I'll take green or blue.
