Nothing new here...

Doesn't anyone get it? OS X was never optimized for thr G3! Apple is probably just adding more G4-only features. Technology marches on. Live with it. Do you want OS X to support your Mac SE too right away?

WWWWWWWhat? I'm sure everyone realizes it's bound to happen sometime eventually...But the point here was that it's not going to happen at MWSF, it's not a near future transition.

Also explain how the beige G3 is an older system, the oldest supported by OS X to explain the slowness you will encounter....to prevent that spiraling 'Macs suck' spiel.

Or try Timbuktu Pro.... It's not what you're describing here, but it's a cross platform remote desktop control app, well designed and it just works. http://www.netopia.com/en-us/software/products/tb2/index.html

It is indeed in the read-me displayed to you right in the installer than you have to click OK to get past. They are called 'read-me's for a reason.

I've known this for some time, never thought to share it though, it is quite useful. And it looks funny when the OS X boot screen pops up on top of your desktop (use -g). And why would you use 'sudo shutdown -r now' when you can just type 'sudo reboot'...using shutdown with the -r option just...

Yeah it is!... if every 10.x update from now on will be a pay one (most likely) and they release them at the same rate (1/year) at the same cost ($129) You do the math... $40/year rather than $129/year. I doubt you have to get it every year either if you don't want to. So you're saving $90.

Count me in. Mac Plus's own :D

OS X is already very much like that...many optimizations for the G4 but has anyone heard of something in OS X optimized for a G3? Nope. Apple is probably just adding in various enhancements to the next version of Jaguar to really make it fly (I'm actually thinking they might use AltiVec more for...

I tried it on my iBook for fun...yup kernel panic. woohoo. How often does anyone actually do this? That's the real question...

I'm not Itanium but I think it's a good idea :D

AltiVec is no more than a vector processing unit, something AMD could easily add to their own chips for Apple...so we would be looking at no loss here at all, the only real difference would come in the processor. This is one of the many reasons I think a switch could be very beneficial... We'd...

You personally believe this? Do you have something that can actually back this up? Your personal belief doesn't mean anything (don't take that personally) unless you happen to be a head honcho over at AMD. AMD has always made x86 processors...even RISC x86 processors. AMD had an entire line of...

oops hit 'Quote' rather than 'Edit'
