You are right and I should have listened to you last time.

ho ho, those little mac tards are so sensitive

Apple and compatibility, that got to be the most idiotic argument I have seen in years

Thats what makes him fun to spar with. He's got a knack of pulling Mac users into a
mini shitfight. It wouldnt be the same without him

I am only speaking the truth, that's why they come into the shit fight and they know it

Remind me of the MS tards in the 90s with their shit Win311 interface while MacOS ruled, completely delusional

now the game has changed,

^ Homo !!!

quod erat demonstrandum..

He seems to be failing miserably, if that's his goal - seeing as how the smarter readers quickly figure him out and end up ignoring him. Slackula pretty much profiled him to a 'T' - and that's why he's just best being ignored.

Enjoy him, if you want - I certainly don't care for that cretin.

again, slackula, you failed to answer that simple question below

so if I run a Mac emulator on my PC, does it mean that my PC is Mac compatible ?

Here, dipshit

yeah, thank you so you have no answer, as expected

running an emulator is not being compatible, genius, and most System 7 apps will simply crash or be too slow to be usable or simply not run. As for the system Rosetta, here is a clue for you as again you have exposed your complete ignorance of the Mac platform:

In general, Rosetta does not run the following:[5]

* The Classic environment, and thus anything built for Mac OS 9 or below.
* Code that inserts preferences into the System Preferences pane.
* Applications that require a G5 processor.
* Applications that require precise exception handling.
* Screen savers
* Kernel extensions, and applications that depend on them.

how is that compatible again ?

OwNeD, thanks for playing

That's not the case. You made a blanket statement saying "such and such doesn't work, Apple doesn't do legacy support". I gave examples of Apple providing legacy support.

If you want help why not name the specific app, list the steps you have tried and reproduce any error messages or other relevant logs that may be pertinent. Saying "it doesn't work" does not generally elicit much help on a web support forum, try pulling a stunt like that at Linuxquestions.org for example.

Meh, I had a long reply typed out but I can't be bothered. 7 was replaced in 1997, an eternity in OSs. What 12+ year old app do you have that you need to run?

Um, wouldnt have been my choice of words. Sounds a bit too fruity. I dont mind Butters, in small doses.

Nothing serious and solid like trolling on Teakdoor ?

Occasionally, it's good fun to be able to boot into System 7 (or 8, or 9) just because you can do it -- and there are a few oldies that are fun to revisit -- I recall 'The Fool's Errand', one of the few cerebral games from back then, and until recently, Dark Castle (though, now with an OS X version out, that's less of an issue). There's also the original Outlook 2001 client, which we still occasionally have to fire up, when we have some clients with archives in that format.

By the way, COI is better than having to assemble Sheepshaver yourself - just do a torrent search for Classic-on-Intel. Single click installation. Works even on Hackintosh.

Fucking great. The gist is Vista sucks.
10 minutes ago I got a call from purchasing to say my new laptop will be, blah blah blah spec's blah blah vista bl... WAIT a MINUTE. I want XP. Sorry must be vista.
Fuck.

^ What brand? Most vendors offer the downgrade, even if it costs more.

Don't worry about the downgade, instead ask about the 7 upgrade, any new computer bought from the end of July until Oct release is eligible for a free Win7 upgrade,

Well at least for those who do want to upgrade theyve given it the usual Microsoft usability treatment.

Official Windows 7 upgrade chart is ridiculous

you are not serious, aren't you ? I didn't make a blanket statement about compatibility, you did and I caught you on it. Nice try, mac boy.

that's exactly what I am saying, you have never used a computer beyond toying around with new apps. There are business apps that have developed a long time ago that needs compatibility for legacy process issues, and only Windows can do that. There are also a number of middleware solutions that need solid OS performance to run well, the few that have been ported to MacOS always resulted in disasters because the "infra" of MacOS was never strong enough. It's a toy OS, and it's great as such.

we are not talking about bugs or installing new apps here, but about complete lack of compatibility, it's pointless trying to fix something when half of the Shared Library went missing because Apple couldn't be bothered to keep continuity on their platform. It's simply not reliable and not usable.

SONY laptops are crap anyway, so maybe you should try DELL, I think they keep selling WinXP until further notice.

I am surprised how they are selling 300GB SATA with 3GB RAM for users who are only going to use it to surf the web and open their email. Fucking amazing.

I use it for a bit more than that.
