Downloaded and installed Boot Camp for the mac. Burnt a cd of xp drivers for the mac and created a 15 gig partition. Installed xp w sp/2 and it works quite well. Haven't installed vmware workstation yet but it should work fine which means i can be running linux on windows on a mac...

My small labtec usb travel mouse was a bit jumpy so need to find another one. Could not get msn to work with isight but then i don't like messenger anyway.

Wiped 9.2 off the wallstreet which is a 292mhz G3 laptop with 192mb ram and an 8gig hd. Installed OSX 10.2 and it runs reasonably well but it needs to be tweaked.

First is to turn off all effects. Then download Shadowkiller to remove the shadow effects from the gui. Next is to remove transparancy using Duality. Finally i need to fix the X server to set the ATI Rage LT into accelerated mode. Then we see how fast it runs.

I picked up an SE/30 with an ethernet pds card at Value Pillage for $4.99 in perfect shape with no burn in, a 40mb hd and 8 mb ram. Installed 7.01 on the machine and it ran fine. Went to install the localtalk bridge software but it requires 7.5 so had to hook up a CD-ROM and do a minimal install. Added ram doubler to 'increase' the ram. Running quite snappy now. Hooked up the SE and the classic to localtalk to test and those system 6 machines could see the ethernet macs.
