What OS did the Apple II run on?

In the early days of personal computers there was no standardised operating systems. Each company had their own systems which were incompatible with each other. Originally there was no real OS for the Apple II computer when it appeared in 1977. Software was loaded, from an audio cassette, directly to run on the hardware. With only 4 kilobytes of memory there was not much room for an operating system. With the availability of 5.25 inch floppy disk Apple released Apple DOS (Disk Operating System) in 1979. Where other disk drives had to use a lot of electronics to control the input and output the Apple DOS managed much of this activity within the software. The original Apple DOS was rewritten and released as ProDOS in 1983 which became the most popular DOS for the Apple II. A card was available that added a Z80 processor which allowed the CP/M operating system to be run on the Apple II which gave it access to a range of popular business software such as the WordStar word processor.

Why do people think that PC is better than Mac?

PC's have more software options, cost less, and they can be easily repaired without the need of sending a PC to the company to be fixed. Windows has more customization options as well, mainly because the registry is open to be modified. Windows is also the more dominant of PC operating systems which helps in it's popularity. Myself, as a user of both PCs and Macs, Although Macs are decent, I still prefer Windows.

What setting does a canon ntsc zr80 camcorder need in order to be uploaded on final cut express 4?

The ZR80 uses a MiniDV tape which should be recognised by Final Cut Express (in the Capture window). You need to connect the camera to the computer with a FireWire 400 cable. If the computer only has a FireWire 800 socket you need an adapter to convert the 800 to a 400 socket.

If you have a Mac version of Word then make sure the computer specs meet the software requirments. Then go into Disk Utility and "Repair Permissions" and see if that helps. If not then go to the Microsoft Word for Mac, support site and look in their forums for any similar problems.

What is the best deal on a Mac OS?

You could get a low-end, previous-generation Mac Mini for just $450. For example, at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MA607LL-Intel-Drive-Combo/dp/B000BNP1MS/

You can also find used Macs on eBay (though prices are not much lower than retail there).

I think the $1200 20" iMac (from http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Desktop-Display-MB323LL-SuperDrive/dp/B000X3GTMM/ ) however is a better value, since it's an all-in-one including a large screen.

Amazon.com has current and past versions of Mac OS at http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/software/229660/

Under many items, there is a "used and new" option where you may find a better price.

Should I put Ubuntu or Mac OS X on my desktop?

Well technically speaking, unless you own a Mac of some sort then you are not legally able to put OS X on your desktop. If you are looking for an alternative to Windows, as your post would imply, I would recommend checking out several Linux Distros to see what you like. There are quite a few and most are pretty decent. Check out www.distrowatch.com for some reviews. Personally, I like Ubuntu and it's variants. I also was a big fan of Linux Mint. If you are looking for something similar to OS X then G OS may be a good choice. Good luck.

Will Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard be compatible with Mac OS Leopard?

This is not a complete answer but maybe it will help some of you. I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded the latest update for this keyboard and it is compatible with Mac Os 10.2x-10.4x excluding (10.0-10.1). So it doesn't say 10.5 is supported however I installed Leopard and the update to 10.5.1 and it works, sort of. Most of the time it works fine however sometimes my keys don't respond this has happened in Entourage, Word 2004 and a couple of other programs. Usually just switching from one application to another and back will fix the problem or restarting the program at worst. So there you have it the keyboard works 99% of the time.

Good Luck!

How do you downgrade from Mac OS X to Mac OS 9?

You cannot without erasing your hard drive and installing Mac OS 9 from scratch. Even then Mac OS 9 may not run on modern Mac hardware because Mac OS 9 needs the ROM chip to boot. Modern Mac OS X hardware uses EFI to boot the system instead of a ROM chip to boot. Mac OS X v10.0 - Mac OS X v10.4 support Mac OS 9 applications and can run them, you just need to install the Mac OS 9 compatibility program which can be found on the Mac OS X Install CD.
