Thanks to all who tried to help me out with very generous offers -- folks who offered to give me their old Power 100/120 CD, or to send theirs to me so I could burn a dupe that they could have back.
It's just another example of the generosity of this group. Unfortunately, helpful people offered later versions of the CD, rather than the elusive (and possibly nonexistent) 7.5.0/Release 1.0 disk that I'm hunting. I've found 7.5.1 and various 7.5.3 and later releases; I've even displayed them (inside jewel boxes) in an inexpensive mounting box. It's sort of handsome in a dorky kind of way. As I told a couple of folks, most of the Power CDs aren't extraordinarily attractive. But taken as a family, there is a certain appeal. Stephen suggested I put my existing collection on the Web. I believe I will. I'll post the address when it's done. Perhaps as much as anything it is that Power Computing was interested enough in their products to make even the system CDs distinctive. Clearly they had a passion for the Mac OS, and they were determined to make a machine worthy of the OS at a time when Apple itself was wandering in the wilderness. While the beige PCC boxes aren't nearly as alluring as Apple's more recent offerings, they're fun because they invite upgrades and modernization and repairs. Thanks gang, --Chuck P.S. Or maybe, as I indicated earlier, I'm simply nuts. -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
