Re: [MacGroup] anyone need an older disk?
Believe it or not, I’d like to get that 10GB drive. I have an old voice-mail system that runs on DOS 6.6 and can’t handle any drive larger than that — and the smaller ones are getting hard to find. Hey all, Does anyone have any need for a still-functioning Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 internal SATA drive with a once-awesome 320GB capacity? It's yours for the taking if you can make any use of it. If anyone wants any real antiques [1], I also have a 10.2GB IDE drive, a 60GB IDE drive, an 80GB EIDE drive and a Barracuda 7200.7 160GB EIDE drive. I'm not sure who would want them, but they're all functional. I also have a 250GB PATA Maxtor drive which I remember as fading away, though I just overwrote it with 0's to erase it without any problem. You might be able to tell that I found a shelf in a desk which had an old horde from the desktop days.

Re: [MacGroup] anyone need an older disk?
Now you all may laugh - I have an old G3 Desktop that I keep Freehand MX on because FH will do things that Illustrator won't. I design lots of logo's and branding and can't live without FH. Shhh my secret. Would this Barracuda help the speed in my G3? I know programs and marketing - ask me about RAM, Hard-drives and I'm a deer in the headlights. Thanks for the offer I appreciate your kindness! p.s. I had a Maxtor external drive and tons of info on it and BAM - dead!, two whopping years of use.

Remember to watch that that machine can't take a drive over 128 GB without a software hack. And DON'T move it to OS X. Tiger will run on it to a certain extent, but it'll be a lot slower than OS 9.2.2. Especially if you're only using it for Freehand. Something else you MIGHT try is a program called SheepShaver.

[1] Trivia: I used PageMaker 1.0 back before Adobe bought it from Aldus. (I had to convert my 128K Mac to a 512KE to be able to use PageMaker 1.2 on it.) I used Freehand from a very early version (forget which), PhotoShop 2 and QuarkXPress from 2.11 WAAY back in the day. I could get around in Illustrator back then, but was not comfortable with it. InDesign was the perfect convergence tool, totally supplanting my infatuation with PageMaker and XPress. Still use it to this day. Even MORE trivia: I converted all of the logos and Cardinal birds for UofL to eps files back in the late 80s from scans of artwork with Freehand.

Re: [MacGroup] anyone need an older disk?
Ha ha I too used Aldus Pagemaker. I learned it in college and learned on the 4 macs. Our computer lab had 8 at UofL. Got them in 1996 crazy to design on that... wait aren't we moving to that on smart phones? Wow! I went through the whole Pagemaker to Quark to Indesign. And Indesign is Pagemaker and I have always liked Pagemaker better. I had to design 32 page magazines and Pagemaker aka Indesign works so much better. Yep Freehand has an auto trace tool that creates points - love it! when I need to draw something that is not mine but I need the points and the shape. LOVE IT! Like I said Freehand has a tool that illustrator doesn't and I love to use it when being very creative for a very specific reason. So I can't use it often but I do every once in awhile. I use Indesign/Photoshop/Illustrator at least every other day. Thanks for all your help!

[MacGroup] anyone need an older disk?
Hey all, Does anyone have any need for a still-functioning Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 internal SATA drive with a once-awesome 320GB capacity? It's yours for the taking if you can make any use of it. If anyone wants any real antiques [1], I also have a 10.2GB IDE drive, a 60GB IDE drive, an 80GB EIDE drive and a Barracuda 7200.7 160GB EIDE drive. I'm not sure who would want them, but they're all functional. I also have a 250GB PATA Maxtor drive which I remember as fading away, though I just overwrote it with 0's to erase it without any problem. You might be able to tell that I found a shelf in a desk which had an old horde from the desktop days.
