There is absolutely no reason for me to be posting this but to say I just got my brand-new 1 GHz Powerbook with SuperDrive, 1 GB RAM, and AirPort yesterday, and it owns you thoroughly.
(Of course, to afford this, I had to sell not one, but TWO computers.)
Thank you, and good day. :D

:mad: Got this Quicksilver G4 only a year ago and its already horribly out of date.
-
You think the quicksilver G4 is out of date? Try my Sawtooth G4 (http://smile.gif)
-
Out of date? What the hell are you guys talking about, I use my 400mhz g3 [B&W] all the time. It may not be as good as my dual 1ghz but its still a great machine.
-
Well I still think one of the best machines I own is my (well not really - my dads but mine to use) 20th Anniversary Macintosh (http://www.apple-history.com/aniversary.html)
I still cannot believe that (in the US) some of these beautiful mac computers have been found in dumpsters!
They are really quite usable when you upgrade them with a G3 upgrade card - and to think that this 1997 machine is faster than some things than wind0s (eg. browsing around folders).

They were horribly overpriced. Wasn't it like 10,000 bucks or some rediculous amount.

Owe how I wish for such presision hardware as i sit here typeing on my clunck box. At least I have freedom. Even if the only free operating system was an utter peice of shit, i value freedom over convenience.
But still apple hardware rocks, My PC has broken down because of countless reasons, from bugs in the patch of a patch of a patch bios, or just because Intel Machine code is utter shit.
Fuck PCS, give me some real hardware (Sun UltraSparc, Compaq Alpha, or Apple G4) running with the best Operating System OS in the world (Linux) anyday!

a TAM? wow...
the LCD iMac should have been as lucky to habe been an updated Spartacus!
I just ordered a Lombard G3/400 with DVD!
Long live used Macs! ;)

Cool! Post some comments on it after you use it for a while.
Happy holidays!

Blue and White G3 here. Made in 1999, still solid as a rock. 550 MHz G3 upgrade, Radeon and Rage with dual monitors. Original matching 15" LCD studio display, 896 megs ram. I'm still totally happy with it and will continue to use it for some time, unless something really compelling comes out at MW WExpo next month.

Well not out of date. Anything that can run Warcraft III, iTunes, Limewire, and Photoshop at the same time is not out of date, but all the super-powerful machines came out about a month after I bought mine. Seems like I've been left in the dust.

hey, atleast its not exeateshit, im starting to use my 9500 more and more for webbroswing. i just need to do some stuff and itll be even better, too bad nobody sells pb1400 internal ethernet adapters, becuase i could have a networkable/*yes, very very important part here*/ g3 machine

You want out of date? Try my iMac Grape 333 MHz G3 (rev. D). It has been my main computer for 3 years now. Maybe next year...

I know my shoddy PC hardware cannot really compare but I wanna brag about what I just got:
My Linux Workstation is now an Athlon XP 2100+ clocked at 1.74GHz. That's pretty cool for x86.

DROOL.
Damn, anyone wanna spot me 3 1/2 grand.

I did install Yellow Dog Linux 2.3 on my G4, on a separate partition. Actually, I wanted to try it on my 6400, too, but it wouldn't boot the CD like they said it would, so I used the RAMdisk method, and it wouldn't install anything but the base install. How useless is that?
Anyways, I did manage to put the full install on my G4. It won't recognize my scanner, CD burner, or my modem. I can't get on the internet to download updates and stuff. Most of the software has a beta-ish quality about it. GIMP is good, but I can run that on OS X.
I'm about 20 times happier with OS X. Now that's a Unix that I can live with. Sometimes a little corporate enterprise is a good thing. Apple took BSD, and with some solid programming, made it into the best Unix-based distro out there.
Sure, Linux beats Winduhs, but OS X is the OS to run on a Mac.

G'day, 'TheQuirk'
It was in answer to a few 'off thread' comments that carried on from a post by John Tate previous page. If, however, your referring to my fuck up that was just my lack of 'bionic ram' (short term memory) causing learning difficulties but I am at present doing my best and it will get better.
Regards
Braindead

Go back to your little hut.
Aussie land is just some island that has lots of fires and dingos and stuff.
