Using autocad r12 on mac os 9.2.2
Had to manually increase allowable ram to enable rendering. Seems amazingly backwards for an OS from 2001.
Is this a thing with os 9 or is it only for old 68k programs?

🐑💾 Ah, the thrilling world of #emulation, where you can spend countless hours setting up #SheepShaver just to relive the glory days of OS 9. Meanwhile, your actual #Mac sits neglected, wondering why it wasn’t good enough. 🤦‍♂️ But don't worry, the #EMaculation wiki is here to provide an endless maze of instructions, ensuring you're never lost while doing absolutely nothing. 🙃

In #Mac #OS9 you could drag a window to the bottom of the screen and it would create a tab with the window title. You could then click it to expand and contract the window. Does anyone know of an extension that will do the same on #OSX? Yes I know the #Dock and it is easily one of the worst things about OSX.

@LaurentFr : Ou #os9 68k ?

Would anyone here know of any non-test file that uses a standalone `\r` carriage return as a line break?

As far as I can tell, the last system to support these was Mac OS X 10.4 (released 2004), which was the last to include a "Classic Environment" emulator for Classic Mac OS.

BTW if anyone cares, my version of the Conway-Kida FOCAL ported to RISC OS and (microware) OS-9 is on my website at

I may hum… have gathered slightly too many old computers. But they are shiny and make blinking things that move around 🥺

#MorphOS demos really make the G4 Mac Mini & iBook shine.

The Mac #OS9 experience isn’t complete until you waste time finding cute little icons for all your folders.

This uncompressed screenshot at 1280x1024 in full color uses more memory than this app when running on Mac OS 9 (Classic).

ClarisWorks 5 was released at the end of 1997 and I think it has probably all I actually really use in a Word processor or Spreadsheet (not much but that’s the case for many people).

The minimum CPU to run this was apparently a 68030 at 25 MHz and 8 Mb of RAM. So yes it runs pretty fast on a PowerPC Mac.

And one last for “old man yells at software that got slow for no reason while machines got much faster”.

This is opening a 130k log in… freaking Microsoft Word 2001 on upgraded G4 Cube, then launching Excel. Not bad for a computer that has 24 years 👴🏻 (20 if you count the 2004 CPU upgrade and much less if you factor in the SSD).

* Yes there’s some caching going on as it’s not the first launch I recorded but the first wasn’t that different.

Now we have node-js 🙄 #Mac #OS9 #Retrocomputing

Well how fast exactly? If it’s faster than SwiftUI count me in !

OS 9 on the upgraded G4 Cube: Always in awe at how well this works using like 50 or 70 mb for the major apps of the time. Sure collaborative multitasking sucks but in a real usage situation it doesn’t affect much your workflow.

I am also surprised at how comfortable I am at using this 25+ years later. Well I did spend 4 years using Mac OS 7 & 8 daily at work and slightly older versions of the apps.

I still have dual boot to OSX 10.5 but indeed a super fast #OS9 is better

I would definitely purchase this #LEGO set in a heartbeat! 😍 https://ideas.lego.com//projects/de0eda3f-84aa-4cfa-9fab-c9eb155ada80

I actually turned this computer on for the first time since I got it. How do I get OS9 to run on it? Can I boot from a USB stick?

#marchintosh crew, is there anything interesting that I can do with my #OS9 Mac Mini G4/PPC?
something a bit different from the usual suspects (marathon etc)

this is (the kind of) useless stuff I love:
