I posted about this in the chat, but I thought I'd actually post the video as well. for about 150US you can get a working pc running classic mac os 7/8/9.

I'm curious how it'll run some of the heavier games. I've got one running on my laptop which has an core i3 gen 11 with 20 gigs of ram and it works, but not great. I haven't tried it with any rts or action games, mainly just with Strategic Conquest which is an old game my dad used to love.

I have dosbox working on my ryzen 5600x at home to play simtower, but this might be the better option as that version feels pretty limiting. We'll see.

What a bad computer day for me. it actually started yesterday when i was adding all my music back to my itunes library which I had upgraded to itunes 10. I thought itunes 10 was a nice new slick version with even more crap i won't be using.
computer started analyzing the music, which i thought was weird because i was using the same library as before. Even strager was the fact that it was taking forever to analyze a few songs.

Now i know I'm a techno guy and my music can be 3 hours for one file, but still i have closed to 40 gigs of alternative and random other stuff on there and it was getting stuck on the other stuff.

Then itunes beach balled. oh the dreaded fucking beachball. itunes was completely unresponsive, which is impressive for a memory protected advanced OS like OS 10.6. i couldn't even move the fucking window.force quit and then the hard drive disappeared.i didn't think anything of it yesterday, i get back home today and the past 4 hours have been trying to tackle the bloody thing which won't mount, can't be scanned, doesn't let any of my hard drive tools (diskutility, techtool and diskwarrior) even touch them.
every time i plug the fucker into my mac it tells me, cannot be read, and asks if i want to ignore, eject or initialize the thing.

not happy. all my apps were backed up onto that blasted thing.

meanwhile i'm trying to install os9 on my quicksilver, so i can play some old school games. nope, the computer gods hate me right now. i was able to download os9 and all of it's patches (if anyone wants them let me know), burn to a cd, install that on a hard drive on y sawtooth (400mhz) mac, i figured the quicksilver would just pick up the hard drive and boot from the os if I plugged it in. nope, and i have no fucking clue why. i may just resort to reinstalling os 10 on top of that and playing games through classic, far from what i hoped to do but if it works, it works.

I fear i lost my hard drive though. this bugs the hell out of me...
