I HAVE POSTED IT TWICE ALREADY BUT NO ONE HAS LISTENED. SO PAY ATTENTION
you can still get the mac to boot to os 9 you simply have to do a low level format to hose the old firmware (yes mac firmware is really on the boot sector of the hard drive) then boot to the fricken os 9 disk and install away or even just install firmware 4.1.9 and use 10.2 and 9.2 that way.
you are just an idiot there are no other words for you. how is it going to cost $700 to get jaguar? jaguar was not bug ridden there was only one major bug in the inital relase of jaguar and that was burned cds not being able to be read on a pc. tell me a bug in 10.2.2 that isnt related to HPs broken printer drivers? thats right and most of the bugs that were fixed had to deal with rendevous.
low level format the drive and then install os 9 if you want. all of macs firmware is now stored on the boot sector of the hard drive (yes i know this is retarded but that is the way it works)
this way you can use the old firmware that will allow you to boot to os 9. if you really want to do this go ahead and it will work but it is pretty much just burrying your head in the sand.
and also if you call tech support dont expect us to help you because no matter what on 1/1/03 we are not going to support anything about os 9
Apple raising cost to school buyers? erm via the Mac OS X for teachers program apple gave away a copy of os x for any teacher who wanted it ( www.apple.com/education/macosxforteachers )
oh and if any of you hard core old school mac geeks want to still put os 9 on a machine here is what you can do....
given that the firmware on new macs wont let you boot to os 9 and apples firmware is now actually on the boot sector of the macs harddrive you can do a low level format of the drive and then install os 9 as it will put on the old firmware
As an Apple tech support rep i can tell you the number of people i talk to each week that are pissed off about Quark not yet having an OS X version is staggering. Quark is indeed holding quite a few people up. From what i hear it is apples end goal to have os 9 be a distant memory by the end of 2003.
Good riddance in my opinion.
why would anyone bitch about using OS X
QuickTime was never ever intended for authoring actually all you can really do with quicktime pro that pertains to authoring is exporting movies in different formats, QuickTime is however my personal preference in media video media players because it is full featured and doesn't bow DRM.
oh and if i any of you *scurries back to apple techsupport hell* -ever deal with someone who cant figure out how to use a mac? now that is scary
I have to say that a properly written set of rules for email filtering has reduced my spam to almost nothing (especially with Mac OS X 10.2.2) also as a side note in os x you can set permissions to ask if certain types of messages are spam in addition to filtering out known spam.
working for apple has made me a believer
