The first web browser, which was also the first web HTML editor app (and it was WYSIWYG by the way), and the first web server were designed and built on a NeXT Cube running NEXTSTEP 2.0. In the beginning the web (defined as hyper text transport protocol serving hyper text markup language...

Well, you have me stumped. :( If you could find a 2 or 4 GB drive to try out internally to isolate the problem, that would be a good start. If the problem continues, then it is not the original drive. Then if you had a 2 or 4 GB external SCSI drive to try we could isolate if it is the...

The option key while starting up Outlook Express will optimize the database... if this is all new from a few days ago, then it most likely wouldn't do much of anything. One thing to keep in mind is that the preferences for Outlook are most likely still from the pre-Mac OS X installation (when...

There could be some advantage to putting Mac OS 9 on second, after Mac OS X... Mac OS 9 really doesn't need to be installed, it can be placed on a drive. One suggestion is to move the Mac OS 9 system folder to the second partition, then do a erase and install of 10.2 on the first partition...

Unless you use OS 9 Helper.

Not sure about that one... I usually set up my clients transition so to avoid these types of things. Part of the problem may be the fact that while Outlook keeps a lot of data in that Microsoft User Data folder, it is still (at it's heart) a Mac OS 9 app. And as such also keeps some data in the...

The ability to print file lists from the Finder was never added to Mac OS X's Finder (which is not based on the Mac OS 8/9 Finder, it was made from scratch for Mac OS X). But you can add the ability via a third party app like this one.

Actually I cheated a little... I compiled the list a long time ago because I get ask the first poster's question quite a lot. Usually it is one of my clients wanting a deal on ebay and asking if the software will run on their system. With my cash-strapped clients, that list comes in handy. ;)

Well, not knowing exactly what qualifies as Professional Software, I'll list some of the titles that had previous Mac OS 8/9 versions. These are the first Mac OS X compatible releases of these apps... most have had a number of versions since these releases.Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Adobe Illustrator...

Well, I've seen this many times... Outlook Express running in Mac OS 8/9 keeps all it's files in the Documents folder on the upper most level of the hard drive. But Outlook Express running in Classic in Mac OS X keeps all it's files in the Documents folder in your account folder (the folder...

If I recall correctly, your system came with a system restore set (basically that media copies an image of the factory installed software back onto the system), Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X installation media. You should be able to reinstall Mac OS X from the Mac OS X installation CD. As long as you...

If you are trying to start up Mac OS X v10.0.4 (which was released in the summer of 2001 as I recall) after using 9.2.x on this system all this time, I can tell you that your going to have a ton a problems. First of all, odds are that you have removed some of the required files for Mac OS X...

Well, let us not forget that we are talking about (in the case of my screenshot) an operating system from 1996... it's 10 years old now. More importantly, NeXT was locked out of the desktop market. Back when Jobs lost the position of CEO at Apple, he didn't actually leave right away. He...

Yeah, the guy is awesome! :D

It is OPENSTEP 4.2 running on my IBM ThinkPad 760ED. I have two hard drives, a 2 GB drive for OPENSTEP and a 6 GB drive for Rhapsody, which I can switch out in a matter of seconds. Usually it is running Rhapsody (which is set up for most of the things I need for my consulting work) but when I'm...

Well, nixgeek covered the first part... though I would have linked to my NEXTSTEP and OPENSTEP Resource Page (but I'm a little bias ;p ). As for where everything is... the old NeXT dock wasn't that great at handling a lot of apps... so I use a dock replacement that gives me different levels...

Here I have three systems running Mac OS 8.6 (an 8100, a PowerBook 3400c and BlueBox in my 8600) all of which are accessible by my Mac OS X systems (two running 10.2.8, two running 10.3.9). All these systems are accessible to each other (I can log into Mac OS X from 8.6 and into 8.6 from Mac OS...

This is the most recent change of desktop on any of my systems... click to enlarge

Step by step... installing Mac OS X Server on hardware not supported by Mac OS X Server media These are the steps suggested by Apple for installing Mac OS X Server on hardware that is not supported by the Mac OS X Server media. The conditions for this procedure is that the version of Mac...

Sure, not a problem. Even with there being documentation on Apple's site, it is not the easiest of instructions to find there (I didn't find a page on their site for Server 10.3 even though I'm pretty sure one exist). Is the layout of that post okay? I mean without the reply part, of course.
