Marine Aquarium as desktop for OS 9.x?

12-18-2003, 04:34 PM

Hi! I did STF and found several posts on software available that would enable Marine Aquarium to run as the active desktop under Mac OS X. I did a search through versiontracker and could not find similar software for OS 9.x. Does such software exist? Thanks for your help!

I'm not aware of anything like that for OS 9. Because OS 9 doesn't have pre-emptive multitasking you likely wouldn't be too happy with the results anyway.

Jim, thanks for your reply. I guess that gives me something to look forward to when I make the move to OS X. Thanks!

It was a difficult move to make after the MANY years on the "Classic" UI (since 84) but it works pretty well.
