Re: the dark side

what i find interesting, is that there is a program (coded for linux) called "maconlinux" (www.maconlinux.org) which allows you to run macos, inside linux at full speed - no emulation, it runs directly on the processor. why cant apple create something similar, for their own OS, on their own har

yes, companies do grant other software companies access to OS source code - sometimes there is a fee, sometimes its only NDA, but always at very least NDA. you can get the source code to windows, if you sign an NDA, and fork over 323,546,145,632.00, and your youngest child. its how software can

Re: Switch/Unix?

There was a "Cocoa" module [I think] of OpenDoc, the software foundation which Cyberdog was built upon that was originally a collaboration between Apple, IBM and someone else (not Motorola, and definitely not Microsoft!). Cocoa in this case was intended for kids in school. The only reason I kno

Rodney: I too experienced the same problem, under OS 9, with AppleWorks, with presentations. It's because AW only "presents" presentations at 640x480, so the PB switches resolution settings so that the presentation can be seen full-screen. Does the same thing in OS X. Unfortunately, the projecto

Hi, Gail I remember this problem. I'm running only OS X now, so the memory is fading, but I had the problem only on my Beige G3, never on my Pismo. In the indexing preferences, you should uncheck all the languages you don't need. If you have more than one language checked and it still takes a

8.6 will not run on a Pismo, as it was shipped with OS 9.04 as it's base system. You might try an install of 8.6 on a Wallstreet and then copy it over to the partition, but I suspect the ROM on a Pismo will not accept anything less than OS 9.04 But I would not hold my breath. -- Guy M > ---
