: G4 to G4 Megahertz comparison (was Re: New Powerbooks announced / I bought my first Mac today)
Doubling a processor speed usually does not result in doubling the computer speed because the rest of the computer does not keep up proportionately. With a powerbook, it helps to have a faster drive because of the slowness of the laptop drives in general. From what I have read, the G4s are still going strong, and they should ramp up over 2Gs later on. Motorola announced some super-low-power versions of the G4 a couple of months ago. I was wondering what was the power consumption of these new laptops--or if we must wait longer for the new chips. -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I remember thinking that the WWW was a waste of time (well, it still is, but in a different way ;-) (For the non-NeXTers: PEAK was one of the two main FTP sites. Just about every NeXTSTEP/OpenStep program was available on one or both of PEAK or Peanuts, which was in Germany, IIRC. This was long before anyone had their own web page to sell software. If you are familiar with Tucows or Download.com it was something like that except a lot less sophisticated. I essentially ran the PEAK site, answered questions, etc. This was back when Usenet was actually worth using and before there was much spam... ah the golden days.
