Ah, so you bought it recently, used. I see! How do you like it?
It's really nice! looks almost exatly like my friends brand new ibooks, except mine was a third of the price... the only prooblem is that it can't run videos much bigger than 420p :* (

I just noticed you're running Tiger on an older (G3) iBook model. With not very much RAM. It run OK?
It runs brilliantly, it's really fast, everything draws very quickly. in fact the only way i can tell that it's slower than my powermac is in the proper tests (video playback mentioned before etc). even dashboard is zippy (but i've just turned off all the widgets because you were the first person to question the ibooks ability to run tiger, so i thought i'd better at least try and optimise it :p)

tiger needs 256mb ram, and runs quite happily on 512mb, and this machine has 640mb, so it's quite enough...
 
I have my desktop background picture change every 30 minutes as random to some pictures in a specific folder, so this one is of today ...
Desktop earlier today (in a separate link as even if it's reduced to 800x600, it would still be some horizontal scrolling to some). Don't mind the blurry icons and stuff :D

Glad you like it. Yeah, the iBooks haven't changed much in the past few years. At least, not externally.

Ohhhh ... OK, I misread the RAM in your sig. Yeah, 640 MB is plenty. LOL

My iBook came with Panther installed, but it shipped with the Tiger software installation CD. Been thinking about making the switch, but I just can't do it. I like Panther too much. :D
 
Tiger is now mature enough to only be an upgrade to Panther, there is nothing that panther does that tiger doesn't do better now (unless you are talking to fryke :p). it's little details like expanded context menu's and other stuff that makes tiger really cool.

See, Fryke. We *do* agree on something! :D

Lt. Burns, I don't think it would be a good idea for me to upgrade to Tiger ... until I upgrade the RAM. As of right now, my iBook has 256 MB. Tiger won't run well on that. Needs at least 512 MB. And, to be honest, I don't need additional memory right now. I did some memory tests, and my computer is OK for what I use it for. I'd hate to pay for more RAM just so I could switch to Tiger. Seems silly to me.
 
When I saw this image, I knew I had to have it. lol

Since nothing has changed on my Mac OS X computer, I decided to add the desktop along with a window describing my version of Gnome in Ubuntu Breezy on my work laptop. I tried to make it as Mac-ish as I could, but since Gnome still displays menus within Windows as opposed to having a universal menubar, it still looks somewhat Windows-ish. :rolleyes:

Nevertheless, here it is....

Hey, it'd be kinda cool if we could get some pics in here of Windows running on OSX and vice-versa... now that we have the ability to with INTEL!

(And no, I don't mean just booting into Windows on a Mac... like OS in OS views)
 
NO one liked my Apple Evolution desktop? Oh, come on, people! Where's your sense of humor. The image could not BE more true. lol

I would have to agree wholeheartedly. It's the evolution of the geek for sure. :p
 
I second that! Thought I haven't mastered the Geekdom level that some of you have. Oh, the aspriations!
 
I change my desktop frequently, depending on my mood. Here's what my desktop looks like today. You can also drool over my new HD icon. ;)
