• Error -39 is an issue, but...

  I can't believe all the whining and complaining about "Error-39" but NOT ONE solution or account of anyone even attempting to solve this problem on their own. No wonder Mac has only a few percent market share. Anyway, here is some advice that worked for this PC user who recently had reason to compute with fruit: <p> <p>After installing OS 8.5 from CD I went on-line and upgraded Internet Explorer to v5.1.7 so that I could properly view this webpage. Then I downloaded this update and got the "Error-39". Then I re-downloaded it, meanwhile doing some internet research. I found out that to turn off extensions I had to boot up while holding down the SHIFT key. I did this, then clicked on "Mac OS 8.6 Update.smi", and it installed flawlessly, no "Error -39". <p> <p>There you have it, one solution that worked for a PC-turned-Mac-user-for-a-day.

  I thought I was a bit of a tool for using OS 9 here in the glorious heyday of OS X, but then I found out people were still using OS 8 and my frown turned UPSIDE DOWN! Hey, cool kids, wanna upload some software to our NEWTONS? HAHAHA!! That's an Apple joke, HOLMES!

  With MacOS 8.6 installed on you PowerPC system you can now use USB Devices. It also includes a greater level of stability over OS 8.5 and its PC counter-part. This is the Perfect update for any Mac that cannot operate under MacOS 9.

  I know, I know, I should get out of the dark ages and get a new Mac and OS X, but my my job helping people run their macs doesn't afford me that yet. The biggest drag about 8.6 now is I have the hardest time finding the 8.6 compatible software anymore. (Which is why I've come here to look for some)
