The FT (fine technician) had sold them an OS 7.6 CD and an expensive external 24x CD ROM. The only real problem was that they had taken their 15 MHz LC II, to a PC repair shop. A recent example of this was when a new local church pastor and his wife asked me for help with a problem Mac. If you have some experience with computers, you know that, just because you can use a more recent operating system, doesn't mean that you should. You quickly learn how many times you can use some badly ported applications, before you must quit and relaunch them or restart the system, so you can use them again without freezing. The few updates that you can find for OS 9, are often ported from the OS X versions. Most application updates are now only written for OS X.
#CARBON COPY CLONER FOR MAC OS X 10.2.8 SOFTWARE#
It's getting harder to find new software for OS 9. It's an "antique" set-up but it has been nicely handling all of my audio and video editing needs, well, maybe not so nicely. The ATI card drives a 20" Apple Multiple Scan and the system video handles a secondary 16" Multiple Scan, used for menus. It sports an ATI Rage 128 video card and I use two monitors. My primary Mac for the past few years, has been a beige 300 MHz G3 Desktop, running OS 9.2.2. "Making do" if it's done well, can be something to take pride in. Hey, I'm broke! I won't bore you with the reason why but being terminally tapped-out has taught me to be very resourceful. It's true that I have a great appreciation of older technologies but the only reason I use old Macs and software is that I'm constantly under-funded.
