Hmmm well … the Great Quiz Transferring Project seems to be coming along …
As you’ve probably realised, by now, I’ve got a slice of vintage Mac, tucked away in the bedroom; in the shape of a Mac Performa 6400/200, running Mac OS 7.5.3.
Before you say anything …
And as you’ll probably know, from my last post, I’ve managed to successfully transfer over the backlog of quizzes from my Mini — a Core 2 Duo version, from last year, running Mac OS X 10. 5.6.
And I’ve got to admit, it’s nice to able, while the Performa seems to have problems opening the .pdf versions I created on the Mini — why, I don’t know — when I open the version of Adobe Reader on the Performa, I can open then directly from the Reader File menu.
I can also, quite happily copy and paste them into Claris Works — the predessesor to Apple’s iWork suite — and format them from there.
As you’ve probably worked out, that’s a handy thing for me to know.
About the only problem I have now, is that I’m looking to install the 7.5.5 updates I downloaded from Apple’s own Forums.
The problem here, is that the Performa has no copy of Stuffit that I can use to open those updat files. And Smith Micro doesn’t seem to be handing copies out, any more.
At least, not for Mac OS 7.5.3.
Hmmm …
As soon as I find out more, I’ll let you know.
Either way the next step in the project, is to see if any of the backed movies and tv shows I have can be converted into a form that can be read by the Performa; it’d by nice to watch some …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
