Re: Stuck for a password

[Andrew J. Yon III]

The 600 iMac is NOT the mastodon. It is a nice machine. I have several 
of them with the hardware configured the same as that one. They are all 
running 10.3.5 nicely. I have them all networked together and they are 
each running most of the latest software available. I use some them to 
make up the biggest part of my internet cafe. I am also using some of 
them to run a training lab for graphics design and use Adobe CS Suite. 
I use Apple Remote Desktop 2 with all of them and control all of them 
independently with my MDDP 1.25 .  You may contact me off list if you 
like for further information or answers to any questions you may have 
about this machine. I am the local schools provider for technical 
assistance on over 200 of these iMacs. I do insist that you should have 
the school purchase any software that you will be installing on it , 
though. Their educational discounts will be better than what you would 
receive as an ordinary buyer. They will need the licensing that comes 
with the software to remain legal.

I did an "about this Mac" check on this iMac, and it says it's a 600Mz 
G-3 with 256 megs of RAM, a couple of FireWire and USB ports on the 
side, no SCSI  (and if this ain't the kind they call the "molar," it 
could still do a pretty good imitation of a mastodon tooth if you 
stood it on its back.) What I like about this computer is that it's 
silent (I'm used to the constant howl of my Quicksilver, which is 
stuffed full of drives).

The teacher said that she heard OS-X was extra stable, so she thought 
they could run it in X and do their OS 9 stuff in Classic, and thus 
have a trouble-free machine.

But it appears that nearly all their apps are 9 (last year they used 
it to compile their school yearbook in PageMaker 7 and Photoshop 3, 
using photos furnished by parents on CDs. They also have a Typing 
Tutor, etc.) and it seems to me that with so little RAM (by OS-X 
standards) maybe I should just set this machine up with 9.2.2 only and 
let it go at that (I've got some OS-9 install disks I can give them). 
Yes?

Thanks,
Tom
