What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #10

Family Guy is produced under OS 9. I've seen behind the scenes video. Pretty awesome to know that, even if none of you like the show. Click to expand... Where's this behind th…

I Love The G5's they are tanks!!! But just B/C they aren't supported doesn't mean they are no good... I really was never into LAGS (Latest and Greatest Syndrome)... one can go bro…

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #7

It all depends what you are going to do with it. $225 for a G5 you intend to use (and is up to the challenge) as your main mac is a good price, but $225 for something to add to you…

Yeah, here in Australia, they commonly go for $800 - $1200...I don't think i've ever seen a G5 go for less than AU$800, ridiculous, if you ask me. Personally I think you paid a go…

yes it was 225.00 USD... I been checking them out on ebay and some (like what I just bought today) go for 600.00 and up... and they want 50.00 or 60.00 for shipping...

If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #2

5 years ago, in 2004, I purchased a used blue & white G3 with 256 MB of RAM and a 20 GB hard disk with nothing but the standard OS 8.5 system install for a little over $200…

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #6

The thing about 8 GB is - theoretically you can install onto a single partition 120 GB drive using another Mac, then move it to the target Mac and it will boot. However, the instan…

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #5

I think even if you are installing onto the first 8GB, thats not enough - as Mike said, the drive should be partitioned, with the first partition being no bigger than say, 7.7GB. I…

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #4

None of that matters. The OS must be on the first 8 GB, but really it's like 7.45 GB due to conversion issues, so everyone says 7 GB just to be safe. Repartition the drive into "Bo…

but the only thing is that this G3 AIO used to install 10.2 natively... not anymore... and I cannot figure it out... I was running Xpostfacto with 10.3.9 then I wiped the HDD and …

Don't know why you never saw that message before, but it's true - the beige G3s need to have OS X installed in the first 8GB of the drive. Re-partition the drive into two partitio…

iBook G4 — #30

Where can I download it (it looks like it's freeware, all I could find is the OS 8 version from Mac Hut)? It would be useful to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binaries on my L…

Oh yeah...I've wondered about the same thing myself. I remember back in the mid 1990's I used to use a program called "I Love Native!" to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binari…

Monolingual.app will remove Intel or PPC code as well as unwanted languages. From the terminal, ditto will also remove an architecture. For example to thin iTunes: • cd /Applicat…

How much can I get for my G5? — #21

In about 10-15 years time they'll probably be making their own processors and video cards. Take that Hackintosh!

You'd be lucky to get $700. Honestly, you're insane to think you'll get more, or the buyer is a sucker. They're almost vintage. You never get your investment back with upgrades, an…
