Re: Blueberry iMac
Howdy, After reading your message, I am thinking a used Pismo might indeed make a good bedroom system. I have two questions. 1. How quiet is the Pismo? I have never used one. Some laptops have noisy fans, but I don't know about this one. 2. This one is a long shot. Do you know how much power it consumes? I would hope it draws a lot less than the iMac that started this thread. I use a Kill a Watt to measure true power consumption on my computers. You don't happen to have a device like that, do you?

Re: Blueberry iMac
I have had a Pismo for almost 10 years now. It is a great machine, very reliable. I put a new 120gb hard drive in it because I needed more space. It is powerful enough for most applications I use and for its day. The 15 inch screen is so nice. My only issue is now it needs a new battery and the video quality for some of todays applications shows its age. I dont have power consumption info but my Pismo is quiet.

Off topic, but I filled my coolant system with this oil that doesn't harm the components inside. So that when it leaks twice a year the cleanup is easy.

I too wondered about this Consul log entry, Kris, since I AM trying to burn directly from iTunes. i.e. select playlist / burnplaylist (button at bottom right) is iTunes 10.1 Tiger compatible? You know, I haven't burned a CD for awhile so not sure if immediately previous activity is relevant; but, for the record... A friend, who has gone Intel, gave me his 12 PB G4 that he could not boot after HD replacement. I got it running and set up a local LAN profile. Naively (read unthinking) I gave the PB the same user name as my Mini. The Mini didn't like that, so I changed the PB name. Next project was CD burn and all the trouble.
