Saturday, July 19th, 2008Apple I Basic, recently recovered from an old Apple I has been recompiled to run on MacOS X as a Unix Shell.
There is something perversely wonderful about bringing a modern language such as Apple I Basic to an older OS (Unix) <grin>

Geek and Roman Toys
Wednesday, October 25th, 2006Apple finally releases Intel Core 2 Duo versions of the 15 and 17" MacBook Pro. The concept of 200Gb of disk space and 3Gb of RAM is attractive, but we'll have to see ... I don't think Santa is that generous. Unless someone wants a 5 month old 15" MacBook Pro.
Myriad of things from Adobe. [...]

Parallels 1884 Vista Quick Notes (and update)
Friday, September 8th, 2006Download the 21Mb update to Parallels (to build 1884)
Boot Windows XP to ensure all is OK before I install Vista. Windows XP "seems" to boot a little faster. Unable to quantify exactly how much.
Backup existing 15Gb Windows XP .hdd, just in case. Create a new 15Gb image to install Vista into.
Pararllels settings:
Install into the fresh [...]
Uptime: 22 days. And I run Windows XP SP2.
Tuesday, September 5th, 2006I am not a Mac fan-boy. Been there, done that. And to be truthful, I think I am a little too old for zealotry. The innocent dogmatism of youth has been replaced with that pragmatism to the point of pessimism middle age.
My 15" MacBook Pro runs MacOS X 10.4.7. The last time I [...]
A/UX 3.0: Apple’s first Unix OS
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006History revisionists state that Apple had to buy NeXT as they could not write their own pre-emptive/protected memory OS.
Apple A/UX 3.0 integrated the best of System 7 and Unix. Maybe not the latest Unix available at that time, nor on the fastest hardware; nor with the best driver support. But it rocked for its [...]
State of Mac Virtualization
Wednesday, August 9th, 2006MacWorld reports from the WWDC and an interview with Ben Rudolph of Parallels:
..."What’s more, Parallels Desktop for Mac will see “fast 3D graphics support,” presumably to help cater to gamers who want to run Windows games without having to reboot their machine"...
I've just updated to the latest Parallels beta; it was smooth and you can [...]
Virtualization, MacOS X Server
Sunday, August 6th, 2006Silicon Valley Sleuth writes a short article on the appearance of VMware at WWDC. It's about more than just the desktop OS.
Here is another pie-in-the-sky, non-desktop scenario:
Apple releases new versions of both their Xserver and the MacOS X Server.
Xserve becomes a tested and supported platform for VMWare Server and more importantly VMware's ESX Server. This [...]
