Hello Paris people,
I would really appreciate your expertise & advice--I have been using Paris in an old Blue & White G3 Mac (rock-solid for well over a decade), and it appears that the power supply has gone out. It looks like I'm faced with three options:
1 -- get the power supply fixed (if it's even possible, & if it doesn't cost an insane amount)
2 -- drop PARIS into another old Mac (assuming PACE response codes are still available--see below)
3 -- switch to PC. I understand that there are many benefits to this (including a PACE-free Paris), but i'm reluctant to go this route as I have never owned a PC in my life, and setting one up could involve a lengthy learning curve.
About the PACE question, and option #2, I read conflicting info on this forum. Under the topic "Paris on OS9 without response code?", "LDstudios" said on 10/10/16 that ID had told him that response codes are still being sent to original purchasers (of which I am one, although I bought my system right after it was discontinued).
But under the topic "PACE Free PARIS 3.01", "mikeaudet" said on 6/18/16 that ID has stated they will no longer provide response codes.
Can anyone shed light on this? Or could someone give me the email address for ID?
Opinions on which direction I should go would be much appreciated.
Thanks much!
Dale Bradley
