mac os 10.3 "panther" on pear pc(pics inside)

[mail2and]

Hi,

i tried to run mac os 10.3 "panther" on my PEE CEE using pear pc... i tried cherry os.. but since cherry os only suppots .iso images... and i had a .img image.... i decided to use pear pc

i used this pearpc control panel..... and voila! i was on mac!

mac os is so easy that even a newbie will be able to work on it better than windows... also we all know how much windows and m$ a$$ it kicks with its grafix .. was dumb-folded by the 3d-user switching it was just awwsmm! now this justifies me shifting to a mac after say 1 mth

SCREENIES:

1. mac os booting up... ugh chinese!???!?

2. i was so impressed by the user friendliness of a mac.... having worked on jaguar for a bit... i kinda had an idea abt selecting languages.... so i cud change the language to english.... but to my surprise.. mac os supports input with languages like gujrathi, hindi, marathi, tamil, oriya!?!?

3. now i decided to play around.... tried to change the resolution via the mac system config.... to my surprise!!! it infact enlarged the pear pc window

4. now tried to play songs.... then realized.. duh! i was on virtual machine

*img88.exs.cx/img88/2987/untitled24dq.th.jpg

will update this thread... currently am trying to emulate using g4 and am trying to active the network.... g4 emulation will make it quite fast... and if i can activate the network.... well

whoa cool ....

so have u changed ur plans to get a mac-mini now ??

 

[mail2and]

actually soura.... i'll get the mac mini... but i did this to show dad MAC os 10.... that'll induce him to buy it faster pour moi

 

[Sourabh]

thts blackmailing...!!!

 

[mail2and]

yeah

btw i got the g4 emulator... now my athlon 1800+ detects as mac g4 775 mhz ... ideally p4 2 ghz and athlon 2000+= mac g4 1.25 ghz


g4 emulator... the un-official pear pc... is a lot faster... but quite un-stable...

 

[mail2and]

ok i did it! am running mac os under g4 emulation..... now i get much smoother performance... and just now.... windows crashed... while mac even on virtual machine under a totally different architecture.. hasnt crashed....

Screenies


1. Confirms that am running Athlon Xp 1800+ as Mac g4

2. Good ol' IE! Erm.... bugs and more bugs

*img214.exs.cx/img214/1943/ie0hs.th.jpg

3. a really really cool activity manager.... its so easy to understand what app is consuming what amt. of memory... so unlike WindWOES

Quite nice

We got a PowerPC G4 based imac, the old one with round base in our insti, but only our teachers use it, we are not allowed, but I did managed to work on it a bit, dam, I envy my teachers

andy is quite right, mac is easy, alothough not that much for a power user, due to software & hardware availability for PC/Windows, the interface is Application based, not like Windows XP which is task based

Task based

Apps are launched depending on your task

App based

U have to launch app for the task to do

The problem here is that, we, techies know Mac, how it looks etc, but a typical windows user might get confused with that, what if he doesn't know that he needs to open iphoto to view images or VLC to Play VCDs

everything has it's short cummings, the iMac I worked on was good but I missed a lot of windows shortcust on it even on same photoshop CS & Premiere pro

Now, one of the most important things with an OS, application installation, my take

1) Mac wins, just drag & drop, it's done

2) Windows with NSIS or Windows installer, these are my prefered installaers, as they revart the PC back to it's original state when the app is uninstalled

3) Linux, useless, a lot of dependencies, & removing a 50 kb chinese language file in mandrake 10.1 removed whole openoffice.org

Mac mini = 32k for 1.25 GHz + Monitor

Anand Mac Batra

 

[rajkumar_personal]

Amazin' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U Sure try out new things 2 the fullest !

 

[mail2and]

did some one try it out? i can't get the dvd-rom to work and the network too

 

[vasanth_12345]

Where do u get it

Man do u know where to get mac,and peer pc or can i install directly on to my system like winxp.I want an os that is virus free

 

[mail2and]

also there are varius modded versions of pear pc... i used the athlon xp modded one..its quite buggy... but the fastest i encountered till now....

 

[harmax]

U cant install it directly on x-86 architecture.
You need an emulator like Peer PC for that.
And you would get MAC OS cd when you buy a mac computer.

*www.apple.com/macosx/

and mac os doent come free.....

((( theres even dearth of pirated copies atleast to try it out)))):no harm meant!!!!!!
