PowerPC Wallpapers

[Appleuser201]

Did someone mention "Cube" and "PowerPC"? Say hello to iMac GC.

A "group shot" featuring PowerPC consoles would be hella cool. GameCube, Wii, Wii U, PS3 and Xbox360.

I forgot about the PPC game consoles!

Here's one I whipped up - not strictly PowerPC tho.

Here's something I made a while ago using a neat little program made by Tripcode!Q/7

My poor MDD took about fifteen minutes to generate the picture, iirc.

The second one is definitely my favorite, although a good idea would be keep the rainbow apple logo but put a "G3, G4, or G5" logo to go with a full size picture of the machine the wallpaper is used on. For example, a Ruby iMac G3 would have a ruby G3 pic taking up half the screen and the apple logo and "G3" on the other side.

Why not make it?

Photoshop CS2 is freely available, and so is GIMP.

Moved everything over to Macintosh Garden. The picture amount / size / type restrictions here are not inherently conducive to what is essentially an exclusively visual museum.

In other news, added two more selections.*

*As always, powered by GIMP.

But that 15" is a MacBook Pro

Photoshop CS2 is freely available…

Are you perhaps referring to the incident a few years back where Adobe released the serial numbers for CS2?

If so, you should know that this isn't true. Those serials, while they do work, were intended only to be used by customers who had already purchased CS2 products and needed to reinstall them. Adobe published them because they were shutting down the activation servers for CS2. Those serials provide offiline activation, which a CS2 customer would need.

They were never in the public domain, Adobe never released CS2 to the public domain and it is not free. A fact that was clarified after the serials went live. You will also note that while Adobe still has the HTML page active listing the serials you now need to login with your Adobe ID to access it.

From Adobe in 2013:

Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, we issued a serial number directly to those customers. While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers.

Further (from Dov Isaacs of Adobe) :

On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated ...

You have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies of CS2!

What is true is that Adobe is terminating the activation servers for CS2 and that for existing licensed users of CS2 who need to reinstall their software, copies of CS2 that don't require activation but do require valid serial numbers are available. (Special serial numbers are provided on the page for each product download.) See Adobe forums.

You are only legally entitled to download and install with that serial number if you have a valid license to the product!

My point was that if you want to use CS2, you are freely able to do so thanks to its public archival under the purpose of software preservation.

Yes, it's freely available through non-Adobe sources, but not by Adobe itself.

Isn't a lot of software available that way?

Why use CS2 when CS4 is also freely available via the same means and works on PowerPC Macs?

Why is this such a point of interest?

 

[eyoungren]

Why is this such a point of interest?

Because people should be informed. What you do after being informed is your own business and I am not here to argue the right or wrong of that. I am not here to sway people one way or the other.

But lets's all start on the same page with the same understanding.

The subject of CS2 being free or not has history here on MR.
