MAC OS 10.2

Okay...now this will be my 6th attempt to get this thing to work again. I've been trying to post for 2 days now, and can't seem to find out what's wrong. I've tried posting the same post 5 times so far...it says it updated the blog but when I goto the blog..it still shows the post I made like 3 weeks ago. Anybody out there having any ideas on this one....also I post classifieds on a local host site, and I can fill out the information for the ad...we receive a confirmation email...I click on the confirmation link in the email...and it takes me to a different page than it should and my ad never gets added. Now I've tried on my host pc and my MAC...this may be network related because I got the same results on the MAC.

Okay...now for the topic..MAC OS 10.2

I have had some issues with the MAC for quite some time, and I was looking in the yellow pages, and found that we have a local MAC shop right here in Mad'ville. So, I thought..okay maybe these folks can tell me what's wrong. On boot the desktop does NOT load all the way, and my windows are transparent, only the outlines of windows show up. I called and the guy was pretty knowledgeable about the whole thing...he said he had heard of alot of problems but none specific to me. His simple solution was to install OS 10.2, that it was alot better than 9.2. So I thought okay...just find a cheapy on the net..and be done. Well OS 10.2 is not eXactly as cheap as I'd like for it to be. So I'm in the process of bidding on one on ebay. But I also have purchased a bood on OS 9.2, since I know absolutely nothing about MAC OS, and have done some reading, and found the way to possibly solve the problem..but it would be a chore...If you hold down the shift key...on boot..it will not load extensions..kina like safe mode in Windoze. The suggestion in the book said to add one eXtension at a time...and when the problem comes back -- that extension is corrupt or bad. So I decided to sit down and do it..cuz every time you add an extension..you have to reboot...so it took awhile. But like on the 10 or 11th try I found the culprit. It was my video acclerator extension...and just turned it off and everything else back on and voila..we're back in business. Now on boot I still have a question mark that comes up...and I understand that means there's still a problem..but I haven't done anything about that yet, cuz I can do all I know to do now and that's good enough for me.

So now I'm about to hit the publish post button and see if all this typing that I just done..is worth it or not!....Here it goes.

MAC OS 10.2

eBay item 5718946588 (Ends Sep-07-04 10:33:02 PDT) - APPLE MAC OS X JAGUAR FullVersion 10.2 Operating System

Does anyone know where I might get a full retail copy of OS X, I have beeen considering for some time now, to upgrade my G3 to OS X. I spoke with one of our local gurus, here in Madisonville, and I told him of my problem with OS 9.2, and how that some times (all the time now) that my desktop does NOT completely load, and that all my windows are transparent, I see the outline of the window but nothing inside it...no buttons, text, background etc....so his simple solution was to upgrade to 10.2....so

I've done some reading, and some testing of my own, and discovered that when I choose NOT to load extensions during boot up...my desktop loads correctly, and all my windows appear correctly...but with no extensions...I couldn't do anything because nothing was loaded...kina like safe mode for Windoze.

So....in my reading, I learned that if such happens...the long drawn out fix, is to add just one extension at a time..and then when the error reappears to then go back in and load all the extensions except the one causing the problem.

And I did just that. I was fortunate (no I was and am blessed), that I found the culprit on about the 10th extension that I added. It was the video acclerator that was the culprit...I should've guessed that being that the video was what wasn't loading correctly. However, I still have a question mark "?" on boot, and that flags some kind of problem, but I can do all I want to do and my windows appear correctly..so I'm putting looking into the other problem (s) til a later time.

But, since, I think I would still like to upgrade to 10.2, the local guru, says that 10.2 is quite abit more stable and reliable than 9.2 ever thought about being. So I'm in the market for 10.2, I didn't realize just how expensive it was, still no where in comparison to the Mr Gates, I need another Billion Windows OS, but still abit more than a pore boy can afford. So I goto the world's largest rummage sale....
and that's where I have found this link, so I'm just waiting and hoping to win this auction and get 10.2 on my mac. But in the meantime, if you know of someone that would be willing to part with their MAC OS 10.2 version, I be willing to buy it, save some on shipping.

Til Next time (hopefully not to be as long to post the next one as this time)
ONE DAY CLOSER....THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS
