We’re still running eMacs here. We just got rid of our last G4 Macbook student lab this past Fall. Of course, we also have Intel and PPC XServs, Mini’s from every generation, and Intel iMacs.
This post is coming from a 10.7.5/ 2,1 Macbook. I have a new Macbook Pro on order to replace my older Macbook Pro sitting on the workbench behind me right now.
We’re a school District. We run it until it drops.
I was even soldering new caps onto blown down convertors to keep some of the eMacs running. Was cheaper than replacing them.
I just got Windows 8.1, had been using Linux for several years.
8.1 reminds me of Linux, though it is completely different.
I’m liking it so far.
Ah, explains a lot. Kids bring in fonts from anywhere. . . Custom Fonts built on the framework of commercial fonts that they've not bothered to alter the IDs on, that then over write the legitimate commercial files without changing the metric files, crash. I saw a set at one publishing house running on the old MacOS where fonts sent in by customers with their created ads had so corrupted the house's font collection that suddenly their Times New Roman would place one character every three pages! Why? An amateur fontographer (in his own mind) had misplaced a decimal point! Another was dividing by zero! Idiotic. Crashed any document that had that font included.
