Great news! Turns out the paint is just spray paint. It comes off pretty easily with plain rubbing alcohol. Click to expand... Does spray paint always come off with rubbing a…

You know, the paint probably preserved it.

So I took a few seconds off collecting old Thinkpads to snag a free for shipping Wacom Digitizer II (Model UD-0608-A). It is here with pen and stand and seems to work. How many p…

I did not say that your G5 was not useful, or even that a new Mini is inherently more useful, I just said that benchmarks indicate that unless you need 16gb of ram (and can accept …

I still think the G5 is a bit faster... but that is my opinion.. The unit and all of the parts might be out of date but I works for me.... I still love the PPC platform... And t…

The SCSI interface in the Plus was taken almost exactly from the Dr. Dobbs article and from 3rd party interface cards based on it. This resulted in several weaknesses. First, since…

Yeah, because of fast disks and having 16gb of ram. If your G5 had a 2.5-inch 5400rpm disk and only 2gb of ram, the Mini would likely be faster. There's also the whole "real world…

I don't know.. I've got 16GB Ram, ATI Raedon X1900 Vid card... it seems like my G5 is faster....

Not really. 1.6GHz Core1 chips and 1.6GHz Core2 chips (the original mac mini and the original macbook air) outgun the G5s in memory and processor performance. Like, all G5s except …

You could return it to the bin, after appropriate rendition of "The Last Post". Does it have an external SCSI connector, and do you have an external SCSI CD-ROM and appropriate co…

I gave up trying to figure out why, but it appears to be related to the lack of hardware handshaking in the SCSI implementation uniquely used by the Plus. Click to expand... In…

Things to watch out for: 1) External drive must supply termination power (the power supply in the Plus is too feeble to do the job, so the design team decided that the external bo…

I believe it was an upgrade. Radeon 9600 IIRC but I can check for sure tomorrow.
