Neato. Hope you'll be able to feed the LRPD monster.

I've been tempted to try to put OSX on this Motorola StarMax, but a few months ago there wasn't the necessary shim to get the Sonnet G3 upgrade card to work with it. I'll have to look into that again. I hope your iMac treats you well. Best of luck with the job search! And please help feed our LRPD monster when you can. I've missed your posts. :-) Cheers, Scott.

Post #20,129 by screamer 12/3/01 5:23:29 PM Reply	Same position, sort of... at home. Still running a Starmax 604E 160 with a 233 Sonnet. Haven't tried to upgrade it yet. I have a G4 at work, and man, OSX.1 is definately worth the look. I have been using it (OS X) since early this year (including beta) and it's become my primary machine in the office (I also have a Sparc 1000, RH 7.2 Intel box, Win 2k and Win XP...) I haven't been this excited about an OS since I first installed Debian some years back... What can I say? I've always been kinda partial to Macs, but I'm not a paid shill. Let me know if you take the plunge on your Motorola, 'cause I'm just about ready to try on my home machine.

Post #20,131 by Another Scott 12/3/01 5:35:28 PM Reply	Sonnett says no go on my machine, yet. Though they say they plan on supporting it. I've got a 300 MHz [link\|http://www.sonnettech.com/product/crescendo_l2.html\|Crescendo L2] in the home box. It was a very nice $300 upgrade and works fine under OS 8.6. Faster and cheaper versions are available now. But they don't yet have OSX support for it. :-( Realistically, I'll probably end up getting a G4 or G5 machine before I have time to try OSX on the StarMax, even if the support was available tomorrow.... (Who's been stealing all my free time?!?!) Cheers, Scott.

Post #20,159 by Another Scott 12/3/01 9:50:58 PM Reply	Does OSX have a "Find"? I can rarely find things on this Mac (it's really my wife's). But, in Finder, File -> Find... works very nicely. I'd think there's something like that under OSX. Need to unfriendly parts of this. :-) Made me laugh. Good luck! Cheers, Scott.
Post #20,160 by Meerkat 12/3/01 9:58:51 PM Reply	Sherlock, or the command line Sherlock has a file find function, with similar functionality to the Windoze one. Or, bring up a command line and do a find . \| grep whatever (Plenty of ways to write a find statement, but that one's gooe enough for me) On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

Post #20,217 by screamer 12/4/01 2:22:35 PM Reply	Ummm... Clarification please... You write; "...the only problem being screamer and threatening to kill kids..." As "screamer", I'm wondering what you mean? As was mentioned earlier, if you go to Edit/Find from the desktop, you'll be able to find just about anything (including your Unix files - even the ones that don't show on the default desktop) as well as dropping out to the terminal and doing the old fashioned grepping... It took me about 5 days of solid use before I "got" the intuition to OSX, but now I find it very nice to live with. YMMV. Drop me a line if you got specific questions or go down to that wunnerful Mac Forum down the first IWETHEY page.
