 I agree.

Apple is the new Microsoft.

 No.  MS sets their pricing based on monopoly abuse and feeling good
 about being evil, all the way to the bank.  Apple does this under
 Jobs direction because L'billionare just doesn't care.

Re: OS 9 software

2009-07-29 Thread Janice F. Jorgensen
let me know what else u find... i have been refurbishing old imacs for my 
niece's first grade class in a catholic school... so far i have done 3 for her. 
 The kids love it.. they don't need to be connected to the internet for these 
educational games, they get computer skills..and are learning math, spelling, 
reading... any other sites would be appreciated.

  Thanks for the link to Macintosh Garden, I've found some other sites too. And 
now my kids are fighting over a 9 year old computer.

  Subject: OS 9 software


  After putting OS X on my iMac G3 summer 2001 500Mhz I realized that I 
liked how it ran under OS 9 for my son since some of his games take forever to 
launch in classic under OS X.  
  Does anyone know where (other than Ebay) I can get some software that 
runs under 9? I have Adobe Pagemaker, and I have photoshop 3.0 -  me being a 
nerd would kind of like to put the original productivity apps on the thing to 
make it even more useful :)


  Also, anyone on this list have any suggestions for good kid's games - 
preschool/kindergarten stuff like Reader Rabbit (no more RR though, we have a 
bunch of those).
  I've even tried to dumb-down movies so that he could watch streaming 
videos. That hasn't worked out so well because of the video card's limitations. 
It does have a DVD drive and has been wonderful as a cheap DVD player, since it 
cost $20 and a DVD/TV combo is at least $100.  It's just such a cute little 
blue glob of Mac-ness that I can't get rid of it but I don't want it to just 
sit around either.
