Guest Fadi Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 (edited) For the mac nostalgics, here a way to remember the old days. winmac is a freeware that will give your windows a mac look. You can download it here. For the real MAC nostalgics, there is some emulators out there that are free that will emulate MACs, the problem is that there is no avelable that emmulate PPC, they will emulate the 68040 at best, but will on fast computers they beat by multiples hthose 68040 MACs, actually some benchmarks I have run beats my 68040 Mac, by more then 3 times. But since those emulators are limited with the 68k chips, they can only run at best the MacOS 8.X, because 9 and X require PPC. Many promesses have been made by some compagnies to bring a PPC emulators but the promesses were never kept, from what many says it is a very difficult task to do. Well, here is probably the best emulator I know of is Basilisk II , you can have every infos needed here There is softmac as well, but I have not tried the new upgrade, I have some difficulties making the sound card work(I realised after, sound was even not supported) with the version I was using and it is more buggy then the other. Oh, of course to use such programs you will be needing a MAC ROM image, not a PPC image, it won't run, you will be needing those from a 680x0 Mac... if you can't find any and you are still interested to make run a mac, just PM me and I am sure we can find a way. I will be searching from some Linux nerdos some trials of PPC emulators, but I think I will have no success, because be it Linux or Windows, the problem of the emulation lies on the fact that all the commands should be made in a way to run it on a x86 computer... I don't know more then that, I'll lets Seaphan to be more precise on that. Edited May 3, 2003 by Fadi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Why on earth would anyone want to emulate a MAC? you will be left with the limitations and restrictions of MAC's "user friendly" interfaces with the instability and design flaws of a windows-based PC! Worst of both worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fadi Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 LOL Seaphan, actually, it has a lots of adventages for me, on one computer I run Linux, MacOS and Windows XP, Basilisk II is a very stable platform when installed on Windows XP... And as well playing those old Mac games, and working on my old hypercards, that were the old good times. Remember Vava. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azat Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 BTW: You can now use Google to solve Math problems. Calculator To use Google's built-in calculator function, simply enter the expression you'd like evaluated in the search box and hit the Enter key or click the Google Search button. The calculator can evaluate mathematical expressions involving basic arithmetic (5+2*2 or 2^20), more complicated math (sine(30 degrees) or e^(i pi)+1), units of measure and conversions (100 miles in kilometers or 160 pounds * 4000 feet in Calories), and physical constants (1 a.u./c or G*mass of earth/radius of earth^2). You can also experiment with other numbering systems, including hexadecimal and binary. These sample queries demonstrate the utility and power of this new feature: 56*78 half a cup in teaspoons (G * mass of earth) / (radius of earth ^ 2) 1.21 GW / 88 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted August 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Microsoft Virtual PC is a powerful software virtualization solution that allows you to run multiple PC-based operating systems simultaneously on one workstation, providing a safety net to maintain compatibility with legacy applications while you migrate to a new operating system.

DominO123 Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 It is impressive all the options it has. http://www.blender3d.com All that in a little 2mb. Of course nothing to be compared with maya, but for a free program it's nice. Just one problem, is that since it is free, the general public should be able to use it without having to buy the book and learn it for weeks... but for basic things, I have been playing with it a little bit, and managed to do some stuff... but since it isen't the first time I played with 3d programs it was easy to learn the basics... but passing that... ergh...

Sip Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic. I liked this little free utility a lot. Just boot to it using a floppy or the provided ISO CD image and it'll put your system RAM through various stress tests to see if your RAM is reliable or not.

Azat Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I have to tell you guy, the internet without Google would SUCK. check out their latest tool. http://labs.google.com/personalized - Google Personalized from Google site What is Google Personalized web search? Google Personalized web search delivers custom search results that are based on a profile you create describing your interests. For example, people with an interest in the outdoors will see different relevant sites for a search on "bass" than people who are interested in music. Google Personalized web search is currently available in test mode on Google Labs, where you can create and save your profile and see results tuned to your preferences. Your results can be instantly rearranged by dragging a slider at the top of the page to go from no personalization to full personalization or anywhere in between.

vava Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Ok. I used to get SUPER ANNOYED at the fact that windows (no version that I know) has no built in utility to print directory contents and filenames. I use to use screen grabs - but you can't put into a txt editor to format the content as you would wish. So I had found a solution, albeit not a very intuitive: Old solution below - but I doubt you'll need to use it, 'cause I just recently discovered Directory Printer. It's very easy to use, and it allows you to Print directory contents, file attributes, dates, filesizes, folder information and totals. You can also save the data to a txt file, and use it in any editor to format exactly how you want. Old solution: - Open Notepad, or other text editor, and type the following into a new document: (assuming the printer you wish to use is connected to LPT1 - printer port #1). CD %1 DIR >LPT1 - Save the file into your C: \Windows\Command folder, and call it [B]PRINTDIR.BAT[/B]. - Find the file in Explorer, right click on it, and select Properties. - Click on the Program tab, turn on the Close on Exit option, choose Minimized from the Run list, and click Ok. - Next, run the Registry Editor (click START, then RUN, and type in REGEDIT) - Open My Computer\ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ Directory\ shell. - Select New from the Edit menu, and then select Key. - Type ‘Print’ for the name of this new key, and press Enter. - Highlight the new Print key, select New from the Edit menu, and then select Key again. - Type ‘command’ for the name of this new key, and press Enter. - Double-click on the (default) value in the right pane, and type ‘C:\Windows\Command\PRINTDIR.BAT (assuming that C:\Windows\ is your Windows folder). - From now on, when you right-click on a folder icon, you can click ‘Print’ to print its contents. This assumes that your printer is connected to the LPT1 port, which is true for most users. However, if your printer is connected over a network or you have more than one printer, you need to change LPT1 to the correct port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sip Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 If you can't afford Adobe Photshop for $649, you may want to try GIMP which is free. I haven't used it myself but it looks pretty good for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
