The greatest OS on Earth
Posted by: System7 on 2009-07-11 13:54:44
I have obtained the Macintosh Operation System 7.5.2 on the Compact Disk data medium. And I am installing it on my Power Macintosh 7200 RISC Notation Computer Processing System to experience the greatest OS on earth, and the greatest era in Apple's history. Michael Spindler is apple's most glorious CEO. Indeed, he is the greatest CEO of all time, with experience, cunning and general perspicacity that is unmatched. We should all bask in the light that is Spindlers Apple. The power and finesse of 7.5.2 will amaze you. The speed and simplicity will be extraordinary. The crumbling plastic will wow all around you. The glitches of the hardware, are far superior to anything else. The general stability of 7.5.2, is unmatched, unparalleled, or even attempted to be challenged by any type of UNIX, Windows NT, or any OS ever existed, imagined, or drafted. It is the high point of engineering. It is the definition of a high caliber of excellent engineering, with the best product quality on earth. Indeed, all of the above is the undeniable truth. The electromechanical machines that will process each strand of the notation, left behind by the absolute divinity that the architects of Mac OS 7.5.2 left for us.

Once you've done that, what are you going to put on the 7200? 🙂

Only the finest applications possible. The high quality of 7.5.2 must be matched by high quality software. It also possess a G3 Accelerator, ATi Card, and Gigabit Ethernet Card. So indeed, this will be the fastest macintosh computer to ever run 7.5.2.

Very good. Post a documentary. I am running 7.5.3

It has crashed in an amazing way many times already. The sonnet enabler does not work with it, so I removed that card. It crashes copying a 20mb folder from a CD. This is indeed the best OS ever.

This is indeed the best OS ever.
I certainly focusses your attention while using it. I'm at a loss to explain why they needed a 7.5.3.

Even more amazing, after the Apple Product Manager finishes talking about how stable, fast, and modern the new PCI Macs are, I got a bomb error.

Yes, on the hardware demo, I got a bomb error. It is very impressive.

It's nice to know that masochism and sarcasm are still alive in this world.

Are there any unique features to 7.5.2 that didn't make it to 7.5.5, besides endless crashing?

Posted by: System7 on 2009-07-12 05:49:48
It has the number 2, and is vastly more stable than any other OS.

If you are experiencing that era, why not install the legendary Word 6 to go along with it?

Don't forget to load as many third party Control Panels and Extensions as you can find. Truly, the more you have, the more stable it will be.

A dodgy Kaliedoscope theme also helps. 😉

Don't forget to install as many bits of software (especially web browsers!) as you can find! They put all kinds of treats in your system folder, wonderful things Apple never even would have dreamed of shipping with the OS!

If you still have harddrive space leftover, solve that problem with Netscape Communicator...

Posted by: LCGuy on 2009-07-13 15:45:59
You also want as many plugins for said internet browsers as you can get your hands on....mmm, sweet plugins.... 😉

Posted by: II2II on 2009-07-13 16:07:07
Oh, and don't forget Macsbugs. Then you can show your friends how user friendly and powerful the Mac is when it crashes. }🙂

OpenDoc, CyberDog, PowerTalk, QuickDraw GX, let's show the world how it was supposed to be!

Make sure all binaries are FAT CFM, that way if your PPC suddenly decides it's had enough and it's really a 68k, you won't miss a beat.

Be sure to avoid the dreaded Bomb Shelter so you can bask in the glory of crashes galore!

Posted by: LCGuy on 2009-07-13 17:00:33
I'm not sure if it would work, since its a PowerPC, but you may also want that version of the CFM-68k Runtime Enabler that caused data loss. 😛 (IIRC it was version 3.0)
