    10.2 64bit on a G5

    It's alright to leave the clock in and wait for a couple of years for speed, but why not axe the clock now, and immediately gain it? Also... A main advantage of clockless processors is this: lowered temperature and power consumption. Any PowerBook or iBook user knows about heat, and the...

    10.2 64bit on a G5

    Everyone gets all excited and jumpy about this many or that many gigahertz, but the truth is, modern processors don't even NEED a clock. In fact, the clock can slow a processor down by two or more times. Why not axe the clock in the newest G-Series Motorola processor, and gain speed? I read...

    OS 9 on a Power Mac 6200

    Actually - it's not that iTunes requires USB Macs, it's just that it will be extremely slow. In fact, iTunes on that machine will likely be too slow to use at all. I've tried it, I know. iTunes on a machine of that age crashes for every little thing, it won't allow you to stop in the middle...

    Browserwar turnaround?

    I'm glad you mentioned that, homerb. I also believe that monopolies are an awful idea, stifling new ideas, and removing the freedom to choose. I'm very happy to see other programmers and developers writing new browsers (or anything else, for that matter). I would not say that I'm loyal to...

    Browserwar turnaround?

    I saw some of those posts back there claiming that the biggest advantage of browsers other than IE, is that it's not Microsoft. I think that's kinda silly. It's true that Microsoft puts out alot of garbage (Windows 2000, and XP, namely); however, they have also been working hard to put out...
