I always found it acceptable on a G4:I never gave Virtual PC a try because a lot of people deem it unusable. Perhaps that is the case on a G4
@wicknix and @Dronecatcher are using MicroXP, which, as the name implies, has been stripped to the bone.From the title bar I can tell that you are using Windows XP SP3 but do you run a modified (maybe lighter) version of XP? Your video makes me also want to give it a try on my PowerMac G5![]()
No power, screen blank.....?Desperately tried to get any sign of life from my recently deceased 15" PowerBook 1,67 ghz but no luck.
No power, screen black, not even a light on the charger, not a single sign of life no matter what I do. The charger works well with my 12" PowerBook. Tried removing the battery, swapping ram sticks, various resets but nothing. I guess it's some kind of short circuit on the mainboard, the charger also does nothing on the 12" after I use it with the 15" until I unplug and replug it.No power, screen blank.....?
What symptoms do you have.
How old?Installed an old version of creative suite on my 12" PowerBook 867 ghz. Since it's obviously too much to ask from a small indie company with extremely limited resources like Adobe to keep a legacy activation server running for their paying customers I had to use "other" methods.![]()
Thanks for the info. Now I remember, didn't they offer CS2 for free for a while?How old?
Adobe offered CS2 serials and offline installers for legit CS2 owners. They did the same with CS3 owners, but due to the CS2 debacle you had to provide Adobe with your legit CS3 serial and they gave you access to offline installers and new CS3 serials. But you had to act within a certain time frame for that as all of it is now taken down.
For CS4 and above, my understanding is that activation servers are still online.
PS. I learned the bit about CS3 last night.
Strictly speaking, only owners of genuine CS2 licenses were supposed to use the “free” copies and serials…Now I remember, didn't they offer CS2 for free for a while?
No.Thanks for the info. Now I remember, didn't they offer CS2 for free for a while?
Thanks again for the info - always good to know. Seems like I got this wrong from the bloggers you mentioned. I'll try what I can get with my CS3 license when I have time. I have a Creative Suite subscription since sometime 2015/2016 when an important client forced me to upgrade from CS6, so I have been a paying customer within their system for quite a while.No.

That is a lie that was repeated by bloggers, many of whom NEVER corrected their posts. Adobe specifically stated at the time that the release of these serial numbers were specifically for legitimate CS2 customers who wished to reinstall CS2 after Adobe shut down the servers. At no time, did Adobe offer CS2 for free.
But people heard only what they wanted to hear and despite Adobe clarifying this some time later on, the lie is still out there. Because it is what people want to believe, they resist being corrected and so it is repeated. It is for PRECISELY this reason that Adobe demanded CS3 customers provide them a legit serial BEFORE they would issue an offline serial AND access to offline installers. And the first step towards that was creating an Adobe ID, thereby automatically putting you into Adobe's system.
A separate thread with pictures of PPC Macs being used back in the "PPC era" would be interesting.What have I done with a PowerPC…in years past.
Flickr is great for that - type in any model Mac and there's 100s of proud owners showing them off in the 2000s.A separate thread with pictures of PPC Macs being used back in the "PPC era" would be interesting.

My first smartphone was 2009, but I didn't really start taking pictures of my Macs until around 2010-2011 when I joined Facebook. Partly the reason for that was until late 2009 I didn't OWN more than 1 Mac. And the Macs at work at that time I had not developed the system I was using later on (for how I was going to use them).Flickr is great for that - type in any model Mac and there's 100s of proud owners showing them off in the 2000s.
Sadly back then I took no photos of the tech I was using - and it was a revolving door of new toys - especially phones but the fact is most of my time was spent working and in the free time I did have it never occurred to me to 'document' any of these things.
Same here. I only got a digital camera in 2002. But the earliest pics of my "setup" I remember taking were from 2005/6, for 123macmini.com.Sadly back then I took no photos of the tech I was using - and it was a revolving door of new toys - especially phones but the fact is most of my time was spent working and in the free time I did have it never occurred to me to 'document' any of these things.
I think that smartphones have probably changed this. I used to take pictures, typically of the stuff I liked a lot. But before smartphones that involved a dedicated camera with film that had to be developed. In the early 00s it had gotten to the point of those throwaway 'one use' cameras which was a little easier - but you still had to get the film developed.Same here.

I think it happened earlier — once phones with built-in cameras became mainstream; around 2003 or so. With that being said, my Sony Ericsson T610’s camera was so bad that I never used it.I think that smartphones have probably changed this.
Nokia 7650 for me in 2002 - at that point such tech wasn't cool to most people but just plain weird!I think it happened earlier — once phones with built-in cameras became mainstream; around 2003 or so. With that being said, my Sony Ericsson T610’s camera was so bad that I never used it.![]()
I had a Sanyo Katana from 2007 to 2009 I think. Like @Amethyst1 I didn't bother much with the camera. Getting images off the phone was a problem and even at full resolution they weren't that good.Nokia 7650 for me in 2002 - at that point such tech wasn't cool to most people but just plain weird!
My 7650 peak output was VGA....but until I bought a Bluetooth dongle (which my daughter rightly pointed out was "blue but it's not a tooth") could only get photos off the phone by emailing them to myself!I had a Sanyo Katana from 2007 to 2009 I think.
