heh it was fruitmenu. please go about your business :) and thank you for your time and responses.

I've got a blue & white G3 case so I call it "Blue Meanie" with Blue Meanie X"Blue Meanie 9, and Blue Meanie Data. Then I have another G3/433 that has Calvin and Hobbes.

I have a B&W G3 that I upgraded to a G4 450. I added a Radeon 7000 PCI graphics card and 896 MB of RAM. OS X is sluggish, there's no denying it. Then again, there are certain instances when I'm playing on my friends dual-GHz G4, and to be honest, while it is smoother to a point, the...

Hi all, I'm a pretty seasoned OS X user, but I've run into a slight problem that I can't for the life of me figure out. Every time I launch an application, it will launch, but it will remain unusable for about a minute while I get the spinning beachball. This happens for EVERY APP...

after a few days of running at 60 to 70 fps, it now caps out at 26. consistently. its quite disturbing.

And guess what? After a couple of days sitting at around 60 fps, my visualizer now completely caps out at 26. I've installed the 7/18/02 Security Update, and the July ATI update, but after I noticed the difference I loaded the June ATI update back on instead, but it didn't help. I'm really...

not until i was done ... which won't be at least until they release the G6

On "faster but rougher" I usually got about 14-17 FPS. With iTunes 3, I'm sitting at between 60–70. HOLY COW!!!!! Using the B&W machine specs below ... I'm astonished....

Ok, so I'm supposed to shell out $129 for Jag, $30 for QT Pro, and $50 for .Mac all at once? SUCK ME!!!! I signed the free .mac e-mail petition. I don't WANT their additional services. All I want is the e-mail address I spent the last 6 months getting everyone I know to use.

They printed them. Were they just for show or do they actually mean to use them for something? I bought a boxed copy of 10.0 and of course the 10.1 upgrade was "free" so they coupons weren't good for that, but it seems like they'd be of at least SOME importance now that we're getting to the...

So I've been using G-Force as my main visualizer in iTunes, but after the update I decided to check out if the built-in visualizer had changed any. Has anyone else noticed, um, i dunno, something in the neighborhood of FRAMERATES 3 TIMES AS FAST AS IN 2.0.4?!?! Apparently iTunes can now...

odd problem friend, can't say that I've heard of that before. Sounds like maybe something in the keyboard/usb cable is amiss, but then again maybe its just a software thing. just do a clean install of 10.2 on Aug. 24 and I'm sure it'll get cleared up :)

here's a nifty trick to do with the beige G3 – it has an internal SCSI bus which was used for the internal Zip drive on the models that shipped with one. If you don't have one, or if you have an external and can pull the Zip out, you can get a cheap 1 or 2 GB SCSI drive for a few bucks and hook...

from what i understand, the floppy is completely non-functional under OS X...... not that i bothered to find out ;)

after much hassle and time and conversion and yadda yadda i was left with a huge .avi file with the video, a huge .mov file with the audio, which i cut and pasted together hoping it would line up right and exported to .mp4. this took FOREVER. audio didn't line up. no problem. extract...

I'm still enamored every day with this OS ... I'm currently encoding 2 DVD's to DivX, net surfing, iTunes going, with Mail, Address Book, Photoshop 7, Slashdock, and Classic running. And its not even giving me a hiccup :) *sigh* if people only knew....

I'm stuck with PCI graphics. You hear me?!?! PCI GRAPHICS! i have a Radeon 32MB video card in my B&W, and I STILL don't get Quartz Extreme :( So it could be a lot worse folks ... all you 8MB Radeon mobility owners will see a lot more improvement than I will simply because your video...

I recently pulled the floppy out of my beige G3 desktop to make room for a swap space HD. If you don't have a Zip drive in your model (I didn't) then you should have a spare ATA connection on the cable coming from the CD-ROM drive and an extra power plug coming off the cable that is also...

This is sort of unrelated, but if anyone out there has an iMac that is still using 2MB of VRAM, then you NEED TO UPGRADE. I just plunked in a 4MB upgrade to my stock RagePro chip in my beige G3. I thought it would help a little, just a little, but i had NO IDEA it would help as much as it...

But I plan on buying the full boxed version of 10.2 even though I already have a full 10.1 CD. I'd much rather do a freshy install of 10.2 rather than 10.1 --> 10.2 updates, and besides, its going to come with a swank new booklet, the latest greatest OS 9, and the new dev tools. Plus, it...
