And a hearty round of applause, a Hip Hip Hooray and a great big Thanks! to Loran for all his hard work and the expense. Now if he only had the time to come visit the Saturday night Chat (Forum). We miss him.

Hughes Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 12:14 PM To: Antique Phonograph List Subject: Re: [Phono-L] We're Back! Sure, Peter! The hardware hasn't changed. It's still a simple, first generation G4 Mac Mini. It was running the client version of OS X 10.4, with some add-on programs (mainly from MacPorts) to make it act as a server. Unfortunately, Apple security patches were starting to break things, like email & spam filtering. So it was getting a bit hard to maintain. So I obtained the server version of 10.4, which pretty much works out of the box. Now we're running a nice, clean server install that should extend the service life of the hardware - for as long as 10.4 is supported, anyway. The transfer went pretty smoothly - the toughest job was getting Phono-L to play nicely with the new email system. You might ask why I stuck with 10.4 rather than upgrade to the current 10.5... hardware limitations. 10.5 is just too much to lift on the G4. So there you go, in a nutshell!
