Been quite sometime since I have been around this newsgroup. I dropped out
probably around 2002 or so. Anyway, name is Chad, used to work for a computer
game company and still own a Black Mec with 8 in, all as mint as the day
I got it. (well, one small scratch on the C-16..probably from storage..hardly
noticable. Anyway..a friend just gave me an old G3 B&W with 512 mb of ram
(ooooohhhh..poweeer..heheh) and a massive 6 GIGABYTE ULTRA ATA/33 HD running
OS 8.6!!!! maaaaan!~
so anyway, I was playing around with it, reformatted the drive and put 9.2.1
on it, works fine. So I was like..hmm..what can I do with this? Nowdays I
use latest intel mac pro and cinema displays and 8 GB of RAM and Apogee Symphony
and Logic 8 blah blah UAD-1 every WAVE program blah blah..so I became nerdy
and nostalgic and thought.. wonder if that ol' paris system still works?
Well I threw another old 6 GB Ultra 66 I had lying around for an audio drive
(I have no idea why I still had this drive, the original computer I had PARIS
on was a PPC 8600 fully loaded with SCSi baby! :)
Anyway..I dug out the ol' Paris Black and carefully unpacked it (I still
have all the original manuals, docs etc..I could post some pics or flickr
maybe)..and installed 2.1 (I bought 3 but have no idea where the info is
on that or the installer or my license number etc..so..hoping Edmund will
get back to me as I sent ID an email) Then I copied over the Paris demo files
from the 1.81 disc, opened the project "See it My Way" and what do you know..that
sunamabitch fired up and sang! Runs greeeeeaaat! Now I just have to dig up
some old project files I have stored and reopen..ohhh I am so into this!
:-) What fun! Amazed it still works! And man what fun to play with. Anyway,
been geeking out all damn night and just had to share!
One more question, so many things have changed since last I checked up here.
Been 7 years??
I do have a question now that I think about it. Is there a way to change
the skins on this damn thing? I always hated the sand brown look (sorry to
da man..RIP, but it is too desert New Mexico for my tastes). I seem to remember
somebody working on that at one point and wondered if anybody had success?
Well..back to having some fun back in the old school! Just had to share
my enthusiasm! :-)
