I am pleased to announce that development of the SoftMac series of Apple Macintosh emulators has been going strong again this year. A new beta release of SoftMac 9.0 for Windows XP and Windows Vista will be posted to the http://www.emulators.com/ web site this August. At this time we are suspending our Mac OS 8 and Mac ROM liquidation until formal product pricing and bundling is announced for SoftMac 9.0. Darek Mihocka Emulators Inc.

After posting the Complete Idiot's Guide a few weeks ago, I received a big flurry of bribes in the mail the past few weeks. T-shirts, pre-paid Starbucks cards and such. Many of you wisely now used pre-paid FedEx envelopes to easily get things done. As such, I've run out of three key Mac OS releases: Mac OS 7.5 packages with CD/floppy are now gone, as are the loose Mac OS 8.0 setup CDs, as is the one loose CD of Mac OS 9. No more! What I have left now are about 30 unopened packages of Mac OS 8.1 (which contains a setup CD-ROM and printed manual) and a handful of loose Mac OS 8.0 boot floppies. What I'll do for the remaining inventory now is for pre-paid Starbucks orders of $30 or more I will bundle the unopened Mac OS 8.1 CD with the loose Mac OS 8.0 boot floppy as well as a ClarisWorks 4.0 CD-ROM, a Macintosh shareware CD-ROM, and a SoftMac CD-ROM. That's 5 CDs and a Mac boot floppy for a prepaid Starbucks card of $30 and your self-addressed stamped (or pre-paid) return ...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!! Hi, my name is Darek, and I too am an idiot! Motorhead - the 30 year old band from England that won a Grammy award for covering a Metallica song - is playing Seattle tonight and I don't have a ticket! I didn't think they'd sell out the show. i didn't think. I was going to buy a ticket at the door. I didn't know... I didn't know... Bwaaaaaaah. Fortunately, Motorhead moves on up to Canada later this week to complete their 30th anniversary tour and will be hitting my home town of Toronto on April 25th at a cool waterfront club called The Docks the day after I'm done attending the Star Wars Episode III Gencon convention. So after Indianapolis, I'll be off to Toronto for the Motorhead show, ticket in hand. This is your chance, if you live in the Toronto area or are planning to come to Toronto for the Motorhead concert, to bribe me in person with your gift of Metallica concert shirt, Motorhead concert shirt, or just a good shot of ...

I've still been getting a lot of requests about exactly how to get one of the free Mac OS 8.1 packages. I received an email tonight from a "Chris A." who was so distraught at not being able to find out address or know what to send, it just brought me to tears. So I've decided to put together this idiot's guide, complete with visual aids. Follow along now. Step 1: go to the U.S. Post Office and pick up two Priority Mail envelopes - one the normal cardboard version that you'll send everything to me, and the other one of those larger Vytek versions made from that indestructible paper. Step 2: find an old Metallica T-shirt or similar T-shirt (Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Motorhead may be substibuted) or get a $20 prepaid Starbucks card. Step 3: write me a short letter that includes your name and address, the gift that you are offering me, and specify which Mac OS you desire: Mac OS 7.5 CD-ROM and boot floppy, Mac OS 8.0 CD-ROM and boot floppy, or Mac OS 8.1 CD-ROM ...
