I also think the 8.1 Finder looks better.
This change in look was my point to stay with 7.6.1 on my 7500 until
there would be something worth the change. I think, the window borders
take too much space on the screen. That was my main reason to avoid
anything >= 8. As David pointed out, I just like the crisp look. :-)
That'll be tricky, it runs Windows Server 2008.
:?D
You can use Hyper-V to run a Linux-guest ;-)
10.4 feels slower than 10.3 & I am toying with
downgrading my B&W
G3-with-a-G4-in-it to Panther, just for nostalgia. I have no need for
Dashboard and I don't /really/ need Spotlight.
10.5 might be slower than 10.4 but the extra facilities are worth it.
I consider doing the same with my iBook G4, just to have classic back
(and again something portable) when I finish reassembling. (It had
issues with hangs. It turned out that running with an external FW-disk
was completely okay. The internal disk also was ok, but booting from
CD-ROM also failed. So, I suspict it was the IDE-controller. Since the
book is not really usable with external disks only, I risked losing it
completely by extracting the board and baking it for three minutes at
250 degrees Celsius. Just enough to make the sure the solder will get
liquid. With that, I grilled the onboard-RAM. So I disabled it with a
sharp knife, cutting the VCC-Pins from the first chip. It worked,
booting the internal disk is possible again! Yeeha! Didn't take time
to reassemble completely, yet.)
If I can persuade or bribe Tony into fixing my SE/30,
I shall be
looking for an Ethernet board. And an external-monitor adaptor, lots
of RAM and AU/X. ;?)
That could be hard to find. The SE/30 has only one slot. It should be
daisy-chainable but next problem could be space. And, I can't see how
to mount ethernet- and monitor ports on the rear.
:wq! PoC
