Hey, Mac people
Sep. 24th, 2004 04:04 pm1) Yes, I still exist. But I've been ignoring lj way too much lately.
2) As some of you may know I've been doing some work with a local school to set them up with a working computer lab by resurrecting their stack of 30-someodd 266mhz G3s. The ultimate goal is to set them up as k12ltsp clients that also dual-boot macos. But for the time being we're just going to set up a plain old MacOs network. So my question to those of you who are fruitwardly-inclined is...
What should I put on a CD of supplimentary software to go on these machines? Suggestions should:
* Be freely downloadable
* Run at least not painfully slowly on a 266mhz G3
* Be useful/appropriate for 5th and 6th graders
* EDIT: I knew I was forgetting something. Must also run on OS9.2
Please discuss amongst yourselves.

Date: 2004-09-25 11:39 am (UTC)Things I'm thinking of are along the lines of
An ftp client (fetch?)
A text editor (bbedit?)
A non-ie web browser would be nice(couldn't find anything!)
Is there anything like imovie for OS9?
Simple, educational games, maybe
...and so forth.
