Here's my Mac desktop from the PC. Yes, believe it or not, i really am running Mac OS 8.1 on a PeeCee. I'm using a program called Basilisk II that emulates a 68k Mac (a Quadra 800, with the ROM that i'm using), and it lets you run any Mac OS up to and including 8.1, and it nearly exactly the same as it would on a real Mac, only a lot faster, seeing as though i'm using a 2 Ghz Pentium 4. Its just like having my own 2 Ghz Quadra!

Interesting LCGuy!!

I did not know of this program to run MacOS.

I'll be installing it on my AMD 2400+, which really runs at 2Ghz, but I have overclocked it to 2.2Ghz.

http://www.emaculation.com/basilisk.php

That's eMaculation's page on it, which contains a link to the official site for Basilisk II, as well as other information you might be interested in. Highly reccommended if you're not familiar with 68k (pre-PowerPC) Macs.

My Powerbook's desktop is nothing special so I thought I'd post my desktop from my PC - a simple mod and I'm halfway to a second mac (well not quite) but it certainly adds a macintosh flavour! :P

You can use Fire, which I was having trouble with keeping a stable connection with MSN.

I am using Proteus at the moment which is free but they ask for donations. Which is recommended.

There is a Terminal version I think, correct me if I am wrong guys, because I am unsure. X chat or something, that I think connects to different protocols...AIM, ICQ, MSN. etc...

Fire had a good GUI, Proteus says it transfers files but I have not been able to.

Any others had much experience with different Combination Chat Clients (CCC) haha another acronym.

I can recommend fire and the new upgrade should fix the msn connection issues.

http://fire.sf.net/

I'm going to try out Proteus now that i can afford it (it used to be shareware)

xchat is a irc chat application for x11, xchataqua is the macintosh version.

Hey, i've restored this thread now that we are on the new server and bandwidth isn't as much of an issue as it was before.

That's not Fire's fault, MSN's a POS. And i know that by experience because i use it. It's getting more and more unreliable, unfortunately.
