OS Emulation Extravaganza, OS X On Down
HomeBrewR writes: "Behold the power of MacOS X...
Windows XP? Who cares! You guys arent going to believe what I was able to do in one bored day at work. http://www.mystaticip.com/homebrew shows my effort. I took OS X 10.1, installed fink with rootless Xfree86 with IceWM running BasiliskII [running MacOS 7.6]. OS X is also running ircle and VPC test drive running Windows XP. Simply amazing. The speed on this iBook 466SE of all the apps left much to be desired. This was a feasibility test. The speed of either one of the emulators running by themselves was decent if you turned off all the eye candy in Windows XP. I'm REALLY interested in getting BasiliskII up and running to be able to play all those games that OS 8 broke...stuff like Ancient Art of War and Vette. Check it out and have fun duplicating the effort HomeBrewR" The question I'm sure you're asking now is Why stop there?
Either you're not going to see this comment or it's indeed just a slow night. Well, at least in my TZ it's night (22:47) ;-)
This is your sig. There are thousands more, but this one is yours.
Cute!
so far so good

Now you can find the breakout easter egg and play that too.
Remember, we owe a duty of commitment to the open source community, and there's no reason for Mac users to be left out!
...Is why at all? I mean I've been bored before, but sheesh!

Slow connection + big graphics = really fast slashdotting
:(
Maybe he is running his web-server under Linux in a VMWARE emulation in his emulated XP...
...this is important _how_? Really, someone, clue me in. Is it just a terribly slow day or something? Yes, yes, I know, this is Slashdot, where "News For Ners" can mean anything from the kind of toilet paper Bill Gates uses to the latest version of 'ls', but really, is there _nothing_ going on in the tech world of any greater significance?
By the way, since his server is going to quickly go down in a ball of hot silicon (he has two pictures, one a 300+k jpg, the other one a tiff--don't want to think how enormous that is), I will describe the jpg to you, to save a click:
The top shows OS X's menu bar, while the bottom has IceWM's taskbar, with the OS X's dock on the left side. In the upper right hand corner is a window running/emulating a System 7.6 desktop with an "About This Computer" window showing 62 out of 66 mb of memory used. Halfway hidden behind that window is a window of WinXP, showing the grotesquely large WinXP start menu. Fascinating, isn't it?
:Peter
Maybe not to that extreme...But I've done pretty much the same a little over a year ago with a PowerBook G3 running at 233Mhz. The Windows was on a different system in the shot, but it was through VMWare. MythII was running locally as was MacOnLinux. Now if only someone hadn't stolen that laptop I could still be having fun like that, but that beg's the question, why so much? I actually had a legitimate use for most of that stuff for various work projects, but rarely did I actually need them all at once.
here you see it
It's odd that there's a map in Myth II with the same name as a church I go.
My Slashdot account is old enough to drink...
The question I'm sure you're asking now is Why stop there?
No, actually, it's "Why FULLstop".
Just kiddin.
Will someone please help me? I am trying to install Linux in VMWare on Windows running in VMWare on Linux runnin in VMWare on Windows running...
I just can't get anything done -- when do I stop? Someone please reset me.
Free porn!
Wow! It appears that the site got slashdotted. Another one bites the dust. How about you *warn* these small sites that aren't hosted on akamai or conxion that slashdot is going to report on them so that they can get adequate bandwidth/mirrors/whatnot. Jeez, at least think how much bandwidth they're gonna pay, too. Going by the hostname "mystaticip" - er sounds like a cablemodem of some sorts. Come on! I saw someone suggest a queueing system to access the URL. Doesn't sound a bad idea on the whole scale of things IMHO.
I have a new Tynan Thunder setup with dual Athlons
3 GB of installe memory, this board left me 5 pci slots+ an AGP Pro slot,
2 have PowerPC dual G4 PCI cards with 512 MD ram on each
1 Soundblaster Platinum PCI card
1 Matrox G400 Dual head PCI card
1 TvTuner PCI card
1 Geforce3 AGP pro card.
4 scsi drives in a raid
NOW, I run Mandrake 8.1 on the box itself, with VMware to open windows 9x/nt/2k/XP, One of PPC PCI cards boots OSX, the other to run mandrake 8.1 PPC which also runs Mac-on-Linux where I can boot Mac )S 7,8, or 9... 3 monitors one big 22" in the middle of 2 19 " on either side. X being what it is I can put any OS on any display and call it a workspace. the board includes 2 10/100 ethernet ports, one plugs into my cable modem, the other goes to a hub which allows 6 different old PC's to work as X terminals, where the apps run on the server (PPC or X86 OS) and displays on the Xterminals. walking up to an Xterminal and placing your thumb on the USB fingerprint scanner brings your workspace to that station.
All of this I can use from my Yopy with 802.11b. and the head mounted display (in case I'm ever outside)
well I can dream can't I?
"The Most Fun Possible on 4 wheels" is at SunBuggy in Las Vegas
Well at least when you get that all-right-this-is-the-last-straw-you-piece-of-shit BSoD, you can just toss the whole OS in the trash and rid yourself of it. I wonder if there's a digital equivalent for that week old apple juice/macaroni/rancid milk smell that likes to stick around the wastebasket...

:) I can definitely say I love MacOS X, and without a doubt -- you can run more apps from MacOS X than any other OS, especially if you throw in Virtual PC.
Hopefully it can handle it.
I myself run WinXP in VirtualPC.. but I've been struggling to figure out why I bought VirtualPC other than to try XP? Is there really any Windows app I need?
Oh.. ya, Civ3 is being released for Windows first.. that's why I need it!
I love MaxOSXm and my Mac is so cool... I'm so cool.... brag brag ....
Give me a break !
good point....should it really be OS X.1?
Picture Mirrored on a good server
It looks pretty cool - cant think of what use this would be though. This guys website has no text about it at all. It goes something like:
Dayam I love Mac OSX - look what I did.
No lie thats all it says.
How were you able to use VMWare on a Mac? I don't see anything for Mac on their web site. Are you sure it was vmware?
:)
Or were you using VMWare running inside of Virtual PC running Linux?
This *truely* is "news for nerds" !!!
"Stuff that doesn't matter"
Now what is so amazing about that?
I mean, you can do that under most platforms...
Like hell, watch me run Basilisk II under linux, then run Win4Lin.. funny thing is, it'll do Basilisk the same speed as it would under OS X (they're both emulated), while Win4Lin is virtualization software, which will run FAST
Like maybe I'm missing something, but what is so special about this?
i have a titanium, running osx, i write internet applications to be used on various platforms and brousers(it's a dirty job but someone... oh whatever, it pays well.)
my point in using a multiplatform emulating system is that i can develope my perl apps from a command line editor and test them on the system i am on, on 3 primary platforms in 2 primary brousers each. i don't even have to cross the room to my PC...
it also means conkorer and opera get tested sometimes...

I don't blame Unix users who laugh at Mac fanatics who are just now uncovering the power of Unix.
I've done that before. I have MacOSX 10.1, VPC Test drive, and BasiliskII installed on my PBG4. While I don't have XP, I do have 98SE and Mandrake 7.2 installed. I recently sold my x86 box since Windows ran better on VirtualPC than it ever ran on a real PC. (Note: I said 'better' not 'faster' the real thing would probably run circles around VPC if I didn't spend so much damn time rebooting.) Ever since I updated to MacOSX 10.1 my X11 stopped working so I haven't been able to run BasiliskII for some time now. I've tried Connectix Virtual Game Station as well but it will not recognize the CD as an actual PS disk, must be something with the hardware abstraction in Classic.
Any tips on getting Xfree86 running on MacOSX 10.1 so I can be just like this guy?

Nope, OS X is the brand name, v10.1 is the actual version.
He runs his laptop in 800x600? BAH! True laptops run in 1400x1050 like mine! And if XP doesn't take up his whole screen, then it must be in 640x480, which is like, so, um, 1994.

I think it's a pretty cool picture myself... wish my Windows looked that cool, hehe. (I'm referring to the sidebar. I've never gotten litestep to look that good.)
I can feel my sanity, beyond my reach and slipping...
This is great - surely youve realized that you cant just post links anymore right? It automatically inserts a space.
Why? I dont know - apparently its anti-troll or something.
in a continent, on an ocean... There's one at the top of Green Bay. Is that the most levels?
More to the point: Since everyone is making the same joke about running emulators in emulators, what's the record for number of OSes running inside other OSes? Has anyone actually hit the fourth level, say?
Just idle curiosity...

Well hey, I beowulfed some neuronal organisms to form a neural cord, on top of which I then booted a reptilian brain stem. Then we emulated a limbic system, and added a running neocortex. Lastly, we mounted a full complex neocortex image!
Now it can eat, kill, fu*k, feel happy and sad, do basic math and wonder about the meaning of life.
Next we're trying to see if we've got enough spare cycles to initialise some basic psychic/saintly procedures...
Mind you, performance is terrible. Aggressive funcions are very quick, but it seems permanently stuck in a loop in some lower subroutine concerning sex, while taking forever to compute simple empathy matrices.
We're seriously considering a complete cold reboot, but then it did once turn water into wine. Maybe we should just leave it running, what do you think?
Then why don't OS X versions start at 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, ... like every other software?
uh, try this.
Why else would this be floating around... (I first saw this in 1994):

It's time to tell the truth about Smurfs You see, Smurfs are a lot like
other folks; they have dreams and ambitions, deep, thoughtful
conversations with each other, and good and bad times. "But," people ask,
"do Smurfs have..... you know,..... *sex*?" The answer is an emphatic and
resounding YES! And why shouldn't they? They're people, too.
What *most* people don't know is why Smurfs are blue. Well, the reason is
because SMurfs only have sex once a year. Face it: if you only had sex
once a year, you'd be blue, too. Once a year, in the Smurf village, flags
and banners fly happily in the breeze, proclaiming that the day of the
annual Smuckfest has arrived. Birds sing and the Sun comes out to watch,
despite the weatherSmurf's direst predictions. I guess good ol' Mr.
Sun is a voyeur. In the middle of town, Papa Smurf gives a brief speech
explaining the origin of the Smuckfest; how Dr. C. Everett Koop came to
the village and warned allthe Smurfs about AIDS. Papa Smurf knew that
no one made condoms small enough for a Smurf (even though everyone knows
that all male Smurfs are uniformly well-hung, for their size), so he
decreed that all Smurfs would only smuck one day a year. Smucking one
day a year will help us identity any diseases we may transmit to one
another, and keep them from spreading to the animals in the forest
proclaimed Papa Smurf. "Besides, it will give Smurfette a chance to rest."
Yes! Smurfette must rest. For, as everyone knows, Smurfette is the only
female Smurf in the village, and after a full day of having vigorous,rabid
sex with two hundred cunt-crazed little blue men, she needs a break. So,
on the appointed day, Papa Smurf bids everyone throw their inhibitions
to the wind and immerse themselves in debauchery. And, as is his privilege,
Papa Smurf throws out the first throe. At his signal, Smurfette unties
the skintight blue band she must wear to suppress her natural bustiness,
and her astounding tits spring forth into the daylight. The Sun gleams
lecherously on the smooth, blue flesh, nipples crinkling in the light of
day from her soon-to-be-unbridled lust. Then Smurfette shimmies out of
her skirt and stands before the crowd, naked as the day she was born,
save the spike-heeled white boots she has donned just for the occasion.
Her long, blonde hair cascades down her back and lasciviously outlines
her buttocks, clinging like a dirty old man's gaze to each curve and dimple.
Her cunt winks lewdly from behind the golden shield of pubic glory, already
glistening in mad anticipation of each and every raging rod it would receive
that day. And receive them gladly it would, for hers is the indefatigable
furburger, and she hungered for the sauce blended in the heat of passion.
Smurfette turns to Papa Smurf and lifts her stupendous breasts with their
turgid nipples to his lips. He takes each one, in turn, into his mouth,
where his toungue dances the Fabulous Fandango around the areolae, as
Smurfette moans like a cat in heat. Then when Smurfette can take no more,
Papa Smurf drops to his bony little knees and sprinkles his magic
deSmurfilating dust on Smurfette's engorged cunt lips. Presto! The
lovely blond braiding material falls from her, leaving her shaved smooth
as a hard-boiled egg. "Oh, Papa Smurf!" she cries. "Encore!! Encore!!,"
as she writhes in anticipation of the Fabulous Furless Fandango danced
'round her pulsating pussy. Papa Smurf does not disappoint the damsel in
distress; he slides his hands under her tight little blue ass and parts
her moistness with his thumbs. As the hot, funky juices begin to run down
his arms, he plunges tongue-first and tonsil-deep into her wiggling
womanhood. Smurfette gasps as the talented tongue begins to do its
magic, and her cunt clutches at it like a baby bird after a worm.
Cradling his head to her crotch, Smurfette's hips begin to slowly grind
and twitch, for Papa Smurf's tongue has unerringly found her s-spot, and
Smurfette begins the slow, hot, agonizing rise to ecstasy. "Oh, make me
smurf, baby, make me smurf!", she pants, each stroke of his tongue causing
her to throb and clutch. As Smurfette's moans and cries rise in pitch
higher and higher, the crowd gazes in amazement at the mighty mound of
meat struggling to escape from Papa Smurf's pants. This, then, is the
lengendary Trouser Titian, bulging forth in a determined attempt to split
the barrier. Just when Smurfette is certain that she will die from sheer
sensory overload, Papa Smurf flings off his Levis and frees the Magnificant
Heat-Seeking Moisture Missle from its cradle. Maddened with blind lust,
Smurfette hurls Papa Smurf to the platform and leaps shrieking into the
air, landing unerringly on his Titanic Totem. Suddenly filled,
Smurfette's cunt explodes in a monster orgasm, the force of which propels
her screaming into the air again and again, each time plummeting her onto
the Potent Purple Pecker and triggering another climax. Before Smurfette
can achieve orbit, Papa Smurf grab her legs and pulls her to the ground.
Swiftly, he stands, pulling her to her knees. Grasping in awe, Smurfette
gets a head-on view of his hard-on, glistening in the light
like a war staff. The sight of this shinning stud is too much for
Smurfette, who immediately grabs both of Papa Smurf's bulging balls in
her hands and pulls him to her waiting mouth. With preternatural skill
and primeval hunger, Smurfette devours the monster cock, licking and
sucking like a starving child with an ice cream cone. His ass knotting
like a silor's anchor rope, Papa Smurf pounds into Smurfette's mouth with
furious strokes. As he reaches his blazing climax , he forces Smurfette
to take all thirteen and 7/8ths inches of blue tube steak and fires round
after pulsing round of blue goo down her ravenous throat. "Hurray!!",
shouts the crowd. "Now it's OUR turn!!" Suddenly the town square erupts
with scenes of azure carnality, as 200 tiny blue asses appear in the
sunlight. 200 raging cocks swarm toward Smurfette's waiting and
ever-willing cunt, ready to make her scream for mercy as they scream for
more. 400 bouncing balls follow each other to the nearest available
orifice, making Smurfette wish there were more of her. Those lucky enough
to find access to Smurfette's fabulous form begin their crazed humping,
as others find their schlongs being stroked as fast as she can grab.
Those who will come later are coming now, as their friends clutch lustily
at their forbidden fruits, flinging frothy fuck-foam far and wide . Up
the ass! Down the throat! Backhand, forehand, underhand, in the armpit
or behind the knee, the Smurfs erupt in a display of orgasmic prowess to
shame the most devoted student of the Kama Sutra. Soon the street becomes
hazardous to navigate (and navigate one must), as the square gets deeper and
deeper in the collective come. Hour after hour, the orgy rampages on.
Gradually, as night falls, the screams of orgasmic ecstasy turn to the moans
and sighs of ddep contentment, with the occasional whimper from an
over-enthusiastic sodomite. Soon all is quiet, as Smurf helps Smurf back
to home and Preparation H. Tubes of Chap-stick are quickly distributed to
soothe aching lips, and aloe gel is applied (as are lips, if it is too
stimulating) to the citizen's members to ease the burning. As the
exhausted (and completely sated) Smurfs lie in sexual stupor, gentle
rains come (not them, too!) to wash away all traces of the fleshfeast
that was.
And you wondered why Smurfs are always in such a good mood...
hotter than Georgia asphalt.
It's odd that there's a map in Myth II with the same name as a church I go.
So, is it The Church of the long awaited drinking party or The Church of Limbs, Heads, and Smoking Craters? Either way, sign me up!

The question I'm asking is 'when the fuck are you fuckheads going to get a god-damned life'?
The funnerest thing to do is to see how many layers of emulators you can nest and still get a working game or application. Extra points if the final emulation is an emulation of the original base OS
REAL men are completely satisfied by Windows 3.0, circa 1990. Not 3.1, boobstick, THREEE POINT OHHHHHHHHH!!!

The release of XP caused me to fire up VMWare once again.
I have to say.. I'm quite impressed by VMWare. Very solid product.
I was demonstrating remote X displays to a friend... from the solarisx86 box he's been playing with.
I showed him how to bring up a gnome desktop (running on redhat7, running on vmware on win2k) on his solaris box.
I was very surprised at the performance.
I have an OSX G4 desktop and a linux server. I need to run lots of different apps from different OSs, and can put the following on the same desktop:
a. Mac OS X Apps (aaah, better than my retired NeXT)
b. Mac Classic Apps (Dreamweaver, Photoshop)
c. X Apps from either OS X or Linux (GIMP, GRIP, others)
d. Win/98 Apps using Win4Lin on the Linux box with the X Display on the Mac (MS Outlook)
Not wanting to start a religious war, but IMHO Gnome and K still have a long ways to go to catch up with the ease of use and power of Aqua, and Aqua is only marginally better than NeXTStep which is now almost 10 years old!
Wow look at my *nix like system!! It can finally do something usefull!! I can run Windows XP within it!!

Yep. WinXP is Windows 2002 v 5.1.2600. Which translates to Windows NT 5.1 [Windows 2002] build 2600.
Windows NT 3.1 was the first version, because Windows 3.1 was realeased at the same time, and they didn't want people to think that WinNT was a lesser version, hence no NT 1.0.
Anyway, if you have to run Windows, run Win2000. WinXP is evil.

I guess someone are lucky, I don't think that I have had a day like that for a year.
Why oh why must I work for a IT company that does not suffer from the downtrend. Sigh..
but rarely did I actually need them all at once.
But I bet it's nice to know it WILL all work together for those rare times when you need it.
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
Big deal. I've done several things like this on my intel-based linux box... e.g. Linux running vmware running Windows, and also running Basilisk II (with JIT support), and KEGS (IIgs Emulator), along with gtktiemu (TI-89), and a couple others... and then you bring the Apple emulators to the top, take a screenshot, and paste the words "Think Different" to it.
Hi,
:) oh yeah, that and a Titanium powerbook so I can trash that fscking Tecra :-)
First off, this is slightly off-topic. I just wanted to relate my experience with 10.1 last week. I got a copy after months of procrastination and installed it on a G3 450mhz (the Blue and White type). I'd also like to note that I'm not really trying to start a flame war. I am a big fan of *nixes in general (I first worked on a PDP11 running some kind of Nix back in 82), I am also (strangely for a nix zealot) a huge Mac fan. I'm not a big fan of any Nix GUI nor of windows. Mainly I'm posting this because for the first time in several jaded years, something in mainstream Computing made me go "Wow!". Forget the iPod. The experience below hasjust made me decide that OSX is an incredible achievement.
The install was the easiest I have ever done, especially amazing considering there is a *Nix beneath. I went from 9.0 to 9.1, 9.1 to 10, 10 to 10.1 and finally upgraded the 9.1 to 9.2 The only hiccup was that I only got developer tools for 10.0 -- they don't work with 10.1 -- and although I bought a 10.1 Installation, that kit didnt come with 10.1 developers tools -- download from connect.apple.com.
So far so good -- it isn't rocket fast, but not slow enough to impair productivity at all.
My long term aim is a Powerbook running my work development environment which is Dynamo and Weblogic based. I really dislike my Tecra 8100.
So, the rest of the afternoon I checked out our CVS tree -- all 300 Megs.... Yes -- I was able to switch to ZSH, and access CVS via SSH without installing a single piece of software (other than creating a zshenv with CVSROOT etc set).
Next day I started a build, and after a couple of minor hitches (differences with FIND and RM, and PERL in the wrong place (bin not local/bin), I had a clean build. Took a little while, but by the end of the afternoon I had a ATG Dynamo server running our web applications....
Amazingly simple. Everything just *WORKED*.
My only problem is that Java based disk access is *VERY SLOW*.
I did some basic benchmarks against my Toshiba Tecra (650 mhz). The Mac (450mhz) during Memory and CPU based processing ran about the same speed as the 650mhz.
However disk access was twice as slow as the laptop -- anyone got any ideas ? Recall I installed on a pre-existing HFS+ disk that had OS9.1 on it. Can anyone recommend a disk tuning utility ? Should I rebuild from scratch with a different disk format?
In Summary -- OS X 10.1 rocks if you want to use Java 1.3 in a Unix environment - project Builder looks sweet , though I haven't played with it. 2 easy days work and I had a new development environment. I think it took me a month or so with my Redhat 6.2 on that Tecra.
All I want now is a Quartz/Carbon based Emacs

on a video on cnet jobs called it as macos 10.1 he dint call it macos X at all, this was a at a mac world expo demoing the .1 upgrade
Hey Guys-
I think that you guys may have mistaken sincerity for sarcasm. Plus the reasons I want IPOD is it is cheap and has tons of space, and its small.
So dont be so damm ignorant you are the fools assholes
If you actually bought the 10.1 (X.i) disks, either the $130 new version or the $20 upgrade version, you should have a Dev tools CD. It's no different than what's on Apple's web site though.
HFS+ is the fastest MOSX file format right now. With all those installs you may have fragmented one of the directory trees, either the catalog tree or the extents tree,especially if you went for the one partition setup. Installing CodeWarrior can also trash your catalog files.
Try downloading the time limited demo of SpeedDisk from Symantec's site. If it doesn't make your G3 run faster, you aren't out anything. TechTools and a few others can also fix this problem but, IIRC, they don't have free demos.
It's called mac os ten, X is the roman numeral for ten. Ten is perfectly logical being that 9 came before it.
The easiest way to do this is to go to:
http://www.macosxhints.com
There is a PDF file that details how to get and install fink, then xfree (with the rootless patch), then your favorite window manager.
Look at the user number.
This is *not* the real OOG.
It would be great to see him back here, but this is an imposter.
IMHO, the pattern is:
:)
X-windows was here first. It works with Unix or Linux. So apple sees sees the similarity and takes advantage of being the only mainstream OS near a 9.0 release, so since they are already thinking Uni(x), they switch from version 10.0 to X in the label. Maybe the X has to do with the X in Unix also
And then, XP comes in when Microsoft sees that the MacOs is picking up pace. Apparently, we don't need to wait 3 years for MS to upgrade a version: 95 -> 98 -> ME -> 2000 -> 2001.
Windows 2001 is XP because they had to stick the X to not suffer from what would have otherwise been a bad looking name. And they had to copy the OS X candy interface to seem boldy innovative.
It pains me that version numbers and now version NAMES are so important, because Netscape 6 [5th release of Netscape catching up to AOL 5 and 6] and MSN 5 [3rd release of MSN internet catching up to AOL 5.0] break version naming rules to catch up to more advanced software... version-wise at least. That's the pattern I see.

I know others are able to similar things very easily, and on a variety of hardware and platforms. Multi-OS emulation is nothing interesting, really. The trick is to settle upon one operating system that does what you need it to and work with that.
(And I'm sure somebody will be happy to point out the Linux is that OS. Good for you.)
You might want to look into picking up an iBook if you're not keen on dropping $2500-3500 on the Powerbook though. I've got the 500 MHz white iBook and it runs OS X 10.1 quite well. (In fact, I am pleased enough with 10.1's performance that I don't even have OS 9 installed on disk anymore.)
You're not the only Unixhead who likes Macs, by the way... (-:
But OSX is BSD based and fully functional so that even a ``Mac-user'' can use it with out any knowledge of the underlying OS technology. Weren'there some GPLd Linux products out there trying to do this? Looks like they failed.
IMHO the current version should be called MacOSX 1.1 (Mac Oh es ex). Remember, Apple tried to get us to pronounce SCSI as sexy. Just ignore them.
Also, it wouldn't be X.1 it'd be X.I (Roman numerals)
Has anyone gotten KDE to work under this system? I'd like to run the Acqua theme on top of the real thing for comparison. ;-j
For all the whiners asking why someone would do this, I'm rather glad he did. I've been holding off on installing Fink on my main machine pending some sort of horror story. Nice to see it works this cleanly. In fact, I just finished installing it on my iMac.
(Not that I expect it to be a patch on the NetBSD package system, but it's a nice start, at least.)

Kewl FreeBSD/MacOS X 10.1 box, I want one of those!
Thanks both of you! I'll check out Speed disk!
As for the iBook -- Hmmm -- I found the keyboard/trackpad ergonomics kind of weird -- may be I should give it another go. The other thing wrong with it seems to be the underpowered graphics chip.
I do like its weight/size though..
Cheers,
Winton
Unfortunately, all of the powerbooks with lift-up keyboards (I think that's all of them since the first g3 powerbook, and I know that it's all of them since the beige/translucent keyed g3pb) use the same itsy-bitsy laptop keyboard. Which makes sense, it's just far too tiny, and it means that all of the powerbooks have the same ergo problems. Even the current tiBook, which has a huge amount of real estate to work with, has this problem. For real use that isn't on the road, you'll probably want to get a full sized keyboard and mouse... Having said that, I sold my athlon 1gig to pay for my iBook, and it was the best computing choice I've made in ages. 3 cheers for being x86 free...

Does anyone else remember this game? Or better yet, does anyone know who the author was (so I can bug him to Carbonize it : ) or where I can download it for use with vMac?
That that is is that that that that is not is not.
> Then why don't OS X versions start at 1.0, ... like every other software?

How about because it's the tenth version of Mac OS? The version before Mac OS X is Mac OS 9.
A little late I am sure, but Apple generally doesn't install the fastest disks out there. You might try getting a newer disk that spins at some much higher RPM. IIRC, most mac disks are 7200RPM disks. If you have IDE in the B&W G3 (not sure, I know the G4's are IDE, but I can't recall G3 specs at the moment), get a 15k drive and use FWB's Harddisk Toolkit to set it up. Then it should be smoking fast.

"All I want now is a Quartz/Carbon based Emacs :) oh yeah, that and a Titanium powerbook so I can trash that fscking Tecra :-)"
well, go on down to
http://emacs-on-aqua.sourceforge.net/
It looks promising.
Actually most mac hard drives these days are 4400 rpm. A 7200 rpm drive seems to add a 100 mhz to your computer
