I managed to get my grubby mits on a Virtual PC disk image of Rhapsody DR2/Intel.

If anyone's interested, let me know and I might be able to burn it to a CD. Fun to look at. You can definitely see the NeXTStep influence much more than in OS X, which comes over as being VERY Mac like.

Rhapsody strikes me as a cheesy bastardization between NeXTStep, Mac OS 8.5, and OS X.

I'll begin looking at how to put the image on CD. It's 750MB, so it'll have to be compressed somehow... wish me luck!

Nah, I wish  :D

I'm in collage, and the single reason that keeps me paying extra for a dorm room is the choice T1 and student network. I graduate in a few months, and i don't know how I will face the world without Ultra-fast internet.

Fuck the diplomea, I want a T1!!!  :D

allright... well, I attempted to tar and gzip it... nothin' doin'... it's still 704MB!

::mutters at it::

I'd offer to let everybody FTP it, but Arkansuck State won't allow any type of serverish kinda type of style of thing (not even Q3 or Halflife) on their halfass excuse for a network.

11Gb? I can't get over 60KB/s with a Gb card and an expensive ass CAT6 cable... where's the speed?!?

if anybody has any idea how to squish it further... please let me know!

Looks like the Webmaster found some much needed content, what mac hardware does this run on. I have a Mac Classic with 7.5

ExEleven...

I recommend a G3 500 256MB+ or up, since it's gotta run in VPC. If someone is able to get it up and runnign on a real PC, probably a 200MHz box with 128MB.

Webmaster... check your email!

Checked, responded, all set up.  It's on its way to our PO Box . . . once I get it, I'll pop it on a server.
