Mac Discussion

[lfmusiclover]

Thank you for your response Vic. I want to make sure that's true though, so I;m going to wait for Billy , Stephen, or Gil to reply. I'm not saying you don't know, just that I know they DO.

[lfmusiclover]

Billy, do you have a take on this? 

[Stephen]

It will run.

[lfmusiclover]

Alright, now I'm confident.  :sunglasses:


Again Vic, its not that I didn't believe you. I just wanted to hear it from someone who I KNOW knows alot about Mac's.  :sunglasses:

No problem, my brother uses a Mac which is how i knew

[lfmusiclover]

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. 

[Gil]

Yes, I've had it on a PM 5400 running OS 8.6

[lfmusiclover]

So is there a general rule for what software will work on the 6500? I've seen alot of software I'd be interested in, I just don't know what works and what don't. 

[Gil]

if it meets the system requirements of the software, it will work. Though the amount of memory and drive space will affect how well it runs.

Software is software, no matter what platform, no matter how old. If it meets the requirements it will work. Macs are no exception.

So I'm thinkin' about saving up for a macbook. i'm getting way to tired of windows, and plus i'll probably need it for college. I have a laptop now, though its windows, and it's broken. haha should probably get it fixed.

[lfmusiclover]

I've got a broken laptop too. Not sure how to fix it (AC adapter port came off the motherboard) so I just put it up on Ebay. So far its going for $35 with about 5 days left. 

I'd like to get a MacBook sometime. Not sure that I'll be able to afford one anytime soon though. 

What's the latest version of Photoshop that will run on the PowerMac 6500?

[Localonthe8s]

I'd like to get a MacBook too but my TV Tuner is not compatible with Macs

[Al]

i decided to save up for one because they're basically awesome. i think i've already stated somewhere in this thread that my school is making the transition from windows to macs, and i love 'em.

[Gil]

Al, i'f your going to use it for college, definitely wait. Once your actually in college, you can get a discount, which would help if you wanted to get a more expensive Mac.

Gary, I have Photoshop 6 on my Performa 6400. Not sure what 7's requirements are, but anything 6 or under would work.

[Gil]

I'd like to get a MacBook sometime. Not sure that I'll be able to afford one anytime soon though. 

If you're on a tight budget, maybe you could get a Mini. If you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, you're in business the minute you get it.
