Okay done some reading and now I get 1 block per 4-6 hours is that the fastest I can expect?

Did you download the optimized client (see the links in the very long altivec client thread in this forum)? I am thinking no. My 400 mhz G4 gets a workunit done every 2 hours lik…

Yes both superbench mark software has been downloaded now running under 2 hour thank god thanks for your help. Is this the best I can hope for?

Hi, I recently brought a ipod video 30gb video from my friend and i asked him about the specs. He said that for some reason it doesnt charge from the usb cord but only on the…

Wow, i guess my ipod read this thread and helped me becuase right after i wrote the thread my ipod responded when i pluged it into the pc. But, It shows the lighting bolt witht he …

I am experiencing the same EXACT ISSUE. I am really angry, because i had battery issues with my mini as well. I am getting sick and tired of this. I just bought the damn thing l…

Make sure your coputer is not asleep when you are trying to charge it because some laptops turn off power to the usb ports when they are asleep. On my old powerbook I had to change…

i get a much faster and fuller charge from the G4 tower than from my powerbook. i think golfer099 is right about the ports shutting power down when the laptop is asleep.

AFAIK you can not charge via USB while the Mac is asleep, but you can do it via FireWire.

Hi, I thought this was the appropriate forum for this question, so if it isn't, I'm sorry and please move it, thanks. I need your opinion on this. The Mac OS system appeals to me …

Oh, and can anyone also tell me if the Apple button lights up on the new iMac G5?

Authoring should be comparable on both platforms, but the Windows Flash plugin runs a lot faster than the Mac version. What Apple button are you referring to?

Oops, I shouldn't have said "button" but rather "logo". The Apple logo on the front. I've seen that it lights up on the notebook computers. Ok, I just wanted to make sure that aut…

Yup, the Apple logo is backlit on Apple's laptops. Q. for all: is the Flash plug-in on Macs still *that* much slower than on Windows? It sure as hell used to be, but the latest …

I use it and find it perfectly fine, it runs at a decent enough speed on new macs (mines an old G4 800 powerbook) and if your content is running really slow you probably need to op…

Note: for reference, check out my game at www.ninja-man.com All done in flash. First up, plugin performance. Yes its been **** forever, but flash8 is substantially better - on a G…

Hmm. Flash opens in around 7 seconds? That's faster than my current computer. But my computer is getting old anyways. :x

Donald Trump is not a graphic designer. Even if he was, don't use something because you saw it done that way on TV. As for Flash, it runs better on a PC. Both the Authoring Enviro…

Studio 8 works pretty fine on Mac, can't expect everything to be lightning fast

As far as developing the Flash itself, it's more or less a toss-up. Macs tend to have better tools for working with the media you'll incorporate into your Flash content, though, so…
