[OT] Who still uses a Mac PPC?

[George C Brackett]

I'm quite different from all you folks in the way of hardware, it  
seems: just one 3 year-old MacBook Pro Intel Duo.  But I recently  
discovered a way to run OS 9 on my 'book, and thereby recovered the  
ability to run a bunch of my older educational software.  What a  
pleasure to see 'em again!  For the software that has made my day, see http://hotfilms.org/non-windows/sheepshaver-mac-os-9-classic-intel-13879.html

Sounds like my house.

I have:

*Dual G4 tower
*original iMac
*2nd gen (Sapphire?) iMac (this one actually works)
*G4 Cube
*G4 iMac (well, two actually, but I'm parts-harvesting to make one  
fully-functional FrankenBook).

The Cube's slot-loading drive has been replaced twice to no avail, so  
I'l be prowling for some sort of solution.  Sapphire iMac is used for  
email and playing the online game Escape Velocity by the kiddies, who  
will also get the FrankenBook when it's done.  I want the old original  
iMac for HC and a Mac OS 9-only graphics program and I'm not certain  
what to do with the old tower.  Oh, and I have a PM 7100 too ;-)  No  
idea whether that one even boots.
