Loved Matrix. Haven't seen Matrix reloaded though. Any better than the original? The previews certainly look good!

Since all you boys are shaking your winnies, take a look at these old systems 8) Macintosh G4 450 30GB Maxtor 60 GB Maxtor 1.5GB RAM Mac OS 10.2.4 17" ProNitron monitor ATY Rage 128 Pro video Inbuilt superdrive Jaz2GB, Optical 640MB and Zip250 Adaptec 2540 SCSI card And I am using it to write this now :x Alternate system SGI Zx10 2x500Mhz Intel PIII Processers 20GB and 80GB HDD 2x Adaptec 29160 Ultra 160 SCSI cards LS Logic Ultra3 SCSI 120 GB SCSI harddisk Win NT 4.0 Whatever you may say, a Silicon Graphics system is a Silicon Graphics system. Now thats one hell of a winnie shake boys

Actually, the migration is a lot easier. for one one the older machines you can still retain all your ald settings and OS. You would have to upgrade all 9.x machines to at least 9.22 to maintain this compatibility. Problems 1. OS X 10.2 is actually a different OS not an upgrade. All, and I mean all programs will have to be reinstalled with OS X compatible programs. 2. Will probably have to get to your printer manufacturers website to find if you have printer drivers for any of your printers. Older drivers will not work. 3. Many of your network and privilage settings are more robust in OS X, however the old option of having shared folders is lost, you will have a series of public folders for each user. Not as friendly as the old system. I am still trying to find a work around, so if you do find one please inform me. Windows Logging into the windows domin system is easy. As long as your windows machine allows one to log in, you will from OS X. Dont even need anything special. It uses Samba for this. You'll probably need to install it, but thats all. Just make sure each user on the machine has permission to log in from windows if you want them to log in from windws. Can be set at your system preferences. Others All your users will complain at first. No control panels, fonts hard to find, no previlages to certain places. And where is the f***ing chooser? With more use, they will like it. Just remember to get OS X native versions of all your programs and drivers then you'll probably not have any problems. ;( Check at apple (www.apple.com) for a list of compatible computers. some of the older ones will not load OS X, and some others will require a BIOS update.

Does anybody have an idea where NT Drivers for the 3C905-TX network card can be found. I am almost degausing my hair in frustration.

Quote: ^^^^^ not to mention the extreme lack of new hardware you can actually buy to customize a MAC - another reason againts why to buy a MAC Actually most PC hardware works perfectly on the current MACs,and anybody who has used MacOs X Will probably dismiss 90% of what you hear. As for age, I still have the LCII I bought years back, but somehow I seem unable to use my 8086 with any friendly software. Maybe I need more RAM or a larger MRM hard disk. Easy to get? Right.

Thanks a lot. Found a working driver. Wonder if there is any way of getting the system to report on what card you actually have. Spent quite a bit of time having to wade through documentation of many similar cards with maybe a letter or two different. ;(
