MAC OSX

[Y2Buddy]

Anybody using it?

What applications are you running (photoshop, quark, imovie, etc.) and what versions?

Are you using it in a work environment or just home use?

What computer specs are you running it on?

Do you like it? Does it seem slower?

What printers are you using with it also?

I just put it on my fiance's 450Mhz G4. The GUI seems slower. I think this is because it's a true multi-tasking environment, so it doesn't want to bog the computer down by drawing fancy graphics. I don't run man native apps on it and the OS9 apps have weird little problems at times (like the menu bar vanishes or something). Her Epson color printer doesn't seem to have a driver for OSX either.

However, I love it. I'm a UNIX guy, so I'm really happy with the fact that it's bascially UNIX with a GUI.

You can make your mac dual boot, too. So if you've got some OS 9 only stuff, then you can always boot to OS 9 for it.

Thanks. I didn't bother looking myself, I was just told it didn't work....
