I hope that everyone is having happy holiday stuff now. I have came across a few Mac related odds and ends recently, it these help then great!
1) Ever want to run that old mac software on your newer Mac? No, I am not talking about softwares from the old Classic days (OS-9), but from waaaaaay back (Mac Plus days). There is an emulator out now that will let you do this: http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/ If you let your scrolling window make it down towards the bottom of the page, they include some links to still available software that you can use. This just might revive the 'ol debate as to whether OS-6 was the best operating system Apple ever put out (smile). 2) Need to share files with windoze users, but want to make sure that you are not accidentally passing along a file that is infected with one or more virulent viral nasties AND do not have access to a .Mac account to get Virex? Not to worry there is a free open-source version of a virus checker available to you called ClamXav http://www.markallan.co.uk/software.php?page=clam It is a passive scanner, meaning that you run it every so often to check for those windoze thingies that we Mac users don't worry about, instead of it actively intercepting your email and programs. 3) Check your SUPP, Apple has released a few updates for folks recently so there may be something for you there. Rumored to be coming soon from Apple an update to OS-X 10.3.6, called appropriately enough 10.3.7 Jerry ----------------------------------- Someday, I will come up with a clever signature line. I am not sure if I will use it or not, but I will come up with one. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 25.
