It is starting to make more sense now, but thankfully I've not gone through with it yet... if I had accidentally reformatted both drives I think I really would have to kill myself.

Anyway, I have a better understanding now wtf this RAID thing is, and btw it is OS 9 that I'm running then not classic. I got an old G3 startup disk that has OS 9 on it (I forget which version). I am running Tiger so hopefully it will work... I vaguely recall someone telling me the drive would need firewire and it does have firewire ports so I guess I'm ok there. Not knowing any details about it though I had assumed it was a speed issue and that this is outdated info,since USB 2.0 is faster than firewire.

In the menu I do recall a 1 partition option which basically looked like no partitoning, just one volume. But I guess it serves some purpose, and you go through the naming of it. There is a RAID tab in this dialogue box that kinda scares me after people say it will reformat both drives. I hope there's some kind of 'NO RAID' checkbox clearly laid out.

So I don't know I guess I didn't really ask any more questions here really, maybe you could just clarify a few of the things I mentioned if that makes sense. Oh yeah, should I definitely do a 10gb partition if I'm going to put OS 9 on this drive? Thanks a lot. I really need to get this thing done. I haven't even been able to download the news for over a week.

hey, thought I should step back and lay out a little better what I'm trying to do here in case it's unclear...

I have 2 hand me down scanners here, and the newer one does not work so well. I want to try out this older one but when I tried to install the proprietary software I think it would not let me or at least it said that I need OS 9 to run the software. So that's why I've been inquiring about OS9 and Classic (which I'm told would probably run the software, and the mini supports that environment but at this point I think it might be more work anyhow).

My mini's hard disk is almost completely full, and I have some of my image files only on a zip drive right now. I've replaced the old G3 hard drive that had been put in an external case with this new WD 160 gb hard disk. I spoke with someone at a computer shop who said that only the early minis can boot OS9 and that I needed to call Apple to find out by giving the serial #, etc. I did that and the guy said it can run OS 9, but he's not sure it will boot from an external drive... so that seems to still be the big question. I might call that shop again now and see what they think... the Apple guy gave me a few links though that he thought might be helpful. Here is one that sort of addresses the topic but really just leads me to more resources....

I think this evening if I haven't any other info I am just going to partition the drive with 1 10gb partition as you suggested and go from there. Thank again.

Happy New Year!

happy new year bud.

And Scotty's is cute and waiting a while .. and Ascii's look is cool but she is way, way too thin ...

This site does have some strange designs ...

Have to live with what you get I guess ..

Hey!! it just happened in my first post to you.
Is it some type of bug maybe?

Thank you for explaining that Professor.
As always you are the Man with the knowing of alot O things.
Right now i am listening to FAITH NO MORE, The Real Thing cd, Epic is playing.

I dunno, I can't remember where I read that the powers that be and the sgs are glad things are slowing down but I don't know... can't keep that stuff straight. I would like to see more sets from my fav girls and I enjoy the new lovelies now and again, like Magne (yeah I know she looks really young and I don't care). I like seeing sgs that I didn't really notice before that are super hot and have like 5 sets. I met Rigel the weekend before last on my first trip to LA. She is pretty fucking amazing in person too. There was this "Club Suicide" event (may not be too appealing to you, but you can see a short video of it) where one of my fav sgs for the longest time, Lorelei was dancing (video on her blog) and a bunch of other sgs where doing book signings. I was really looking forward to meeting her, as she's also a photographer and someone I've kept in touch with (very loosely of course) for quite a while. But I ended up still being broke at at point. I just took a break from work and stopped by there before the doors opened and that's when I met Rigel. It was a pretty short conversation but I had a chance to sound like a big dork. I told her she looked really pretty, and she said thanks and then I said I was a Big fan. I did actually think beforehand about that moment when you meet someone from the site and you have that, hey I've seen you naked moment. Thought I would go around it, but oh well.

So what'd you think of the Bond flick?

I kinda phased out or something in the beginning of the Bond movie so I would like to see that chase scene again... but overall I really enjoyed the movie and I thought it was great. Craig definitely is a great Bond. My bro is big Bond aficionado also and I'm not sure what he thought of the actor you mentioned. Honestly I saw bits of that movie many times over the years and I would forget who was Bond... just could never get into it (don't know how hard I tried though).


Manko is definitely an amazing beauty, and she seems crazy as fuck too ( I mean in this a good way of course). Another one of my favs from a little while ago was a bit too out there apparently. I know she had "fantasies" about being raped and I think that somehow made it into one of her sets finally. And you probably remember she was booted. Did you ever see that Nana set? I think I actually saw it and like didn't really pay close attention to it while I was doing stuff around here, and then there was the removal and whole brew-ha-ha. She had an eye fetish too, something about losing an eyeball. Actually I think the set may have involved her in an operating room (not unfamiliar on this site) and at the end she had an eye-patch on. Frankly I don't see what the fuck is wrong with that. I mean people have weird shit they're into. If it was a set with her getting raped (presumably by a woman since girl on girl is the only multi set allowed), that I could understand. That was a bummer, Nana was one of the few sgs that commented on my page regularly.

Anyhow, best wishes for the holidays as well.

love the ship harbor picture

Dude!! You think too much.
"Ya gotta let it all go Neo."
"Free your mind!!"
I call her Scarlett JoJo!!




Don't know bout you but i need a cigarette right now.

oooh, those are nice. did you see the Woody Allen movie then? I still haven't but heard great things. hopefully next week I will have some money, and time for a movie (less likely). Annika gave Vicky Christina Barcelona rave reviews (or review I guess, I hate writing) on her blog. seen the Bond flick?

Interesting, I never noticed.

dude I saw the youtube video of that little girl, and that is like by far the sickest shit I have ever seeen. shit. I watched the first time when my speakers were in the other room so I didn't hear any of the story but I really don't get it. (then I wwatched one video with the sound and I still don't get it o'course) I guess the parents were anti-abortion zealots or something. to bring someone into the world like that, good gawd.

anyhoo, how was the turkey day?

Dude how's it hangin?
I ment to comment on that last blog...oops.
bleh.....i feel your pain.
