Title: What can i do with this mac?
Post by: Doogee on 20 January 2003, 13:48
Hello.

I have a sweet Apple Macintosh LC 575 machine just sitting in my bedroom.

It is really cool apart from the fact it cant network(no network card  (http://tongue.gif) )

It does have a cdrom drive though, and speakers. So i figure there must be some cool stuff i could put on it that i can burn off the net. It has Sstem 7.5.5 on it i think are there any higher mac os's i could put on it (that are freely downloadable).

All im really trying to ask is...


...WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THIS MAC???

If you can get hold of it, put 7.6.1 on the bugger and use for some simple image editing.

ermmm

i was thinking more software wise. classic games and cool software that wont crash my poor little guy.

This werid program they use at schools called kidzpics is pretty cool if not a bit cheesey. it crashes my mac sometimes  (http://tongue.gif)

You can play the old King's Quest Games. or the all time Classic Mac Only title, DARK TOWER!

The origional SimGames are good too. Like SimCity, SimAnt, and SimEarth.

Install Open Transport, and then set up TCP/IP with DHCP, leave everything blank. Problem solved.

I also have problems with Kid Pix on system 7. Luckily, I outgrew that program when I was a kid.

Low End Mac probably has a few suggestions:

If you can find an old Sonnet PPC upgrade that wouldn't hurt...unfortunately Sonnet doesn't sell them anymore.
