Re: Changing the breathing rate of a sleeping Power Mac G4

[Sean Carroll]

My first Mac was a Graphite iMac 600 MHz, the first time I saw it  
'breathe' while sleeping I was in love with it. I wish that I still  
had that adorable little Mac so I could give it a hug.


Have all Macs, or at least desktops, since... well, since whenever  
Apple introduced it... have they all "breathed" during sleep? Do they  
still? Except for trips to the Apple Store to gawk and dream, the  
entirety of my Mac experience has been Power Macintosh 7100/66 - Gig- 
E - Sawtooth. So I don't know.



Silly and OT I know, but what can I say?


My reaction to the discovery of the breathing was along the lines of:  
Oh, this is *too* cool. (Very profound.) One of those little touches  
that made a Mac more than a box. Underestimated, perhaps.

Re: Changing the breathing rate of a sleeping Power Mac G4

[Sean Carroll]

So-how do you change the "breathing rate" of a sleeping PowerMac G4?


I don't think you can, at least not easily.


I'm surprised, Kris. I got the idea that maybe one *could* from  
something I think I read (here?) about being able to change fan  
speeds in the... um, what is the Mac term for BIOS... Open Firmware?  
(No, I've never been a Windows guy, but a brief stint as an IS tech  
trainee - Dells, Windows 95 and 98 - burned the acronym BIOS onto my  
brain. Most Mac users never have to think twice about Open Firmware  
or deal with (or even see) a black screen with white type where you  
can't use the mouse; not so on the other side, at least once upon a  
time.) I have absolutely no clue about tinkering within the depths of  
the operating system through Terminal, much less the particulars of  
firmware. I thought I'd start with a simple question before I did  
some research and tried to get my mind around all *that.* It was  
probably naive to think that you could just type something in  
Terminal and *voila* change the setting of a hardware parameter, but  
I'm admittedly naive.


Also, I think this change in rates might not be related to the  
exact model, but perhaps related to the version of OS X you're  
using, Panther, Tiger, or Leopard?


No, the rate remained the same in the old Gig-E from the installed  
Mac OS 9.0.4 through Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 . The difference between  
the Sawtooth and the Gig-E is quite pronounced, I might add. On the  
order of twice as fast.


If it was related to the OS, that would seem to imply that it could  
be changed working within the OS. That would be easy (not for me, but  
for someone else).


It occurs to me now that both the Gig-E and the Sawtooth had/have the  
same firmware update, 4.2.8 . I'm not sure what that means as to the  
role of firmware here, but there you have it.



I'm not a big fan of Sleep, it seems to cause lots of problems.


So I've heard, although I've never had problems with Sleep. I only  
put the Mac to sleep manually now, however. If it was an always-on  
computer, I'd go back to auto settings or try hibernation instead  
(thanks for the link).

Changing the breathing rate of a sleeping Power Mac G4

[Sean Carroll]

I liked the way that, during sleep, the power button light on my old
Gig-E would fade and brighten. I don't know when Apple started with
this, but it was new to me in 2000. (I liked to point out this amusing
- but not useless - feature to non-Mac people, i.e. almost everyone,
the same way I pointed out every other Apple superiority - though for
all I know other brands might have also included this feature or
something similar at some point.) Slowly. So relaxing you could fall
asleep to it yourself. Silly but true. The "new" Sawtooth is more
hyper this way. Rapid breathing. It's the visual equivalent of
snoring.

So - how do you change the "breathing rate" of a sleeping Power Mac
G4?

Just an update...  I'm new at this big screen high resolution stuff  
but evidently, dual-link capability is required to achieve maximum  
results.  Looking at the price of these displays, I will admit that  
they are out of my price range right now.


So, I'm just gonna do with what I got for now...

I'll be looking for much more resolution that that.

the DVI port or up o 2560 x 1600 using both video ports with a Dual-

Exactly.

In order to get  more resolution, the monitor has to be capable of  
displaying it.


That's why when I do get a larger monitor, I want it to be capable  
of  lot better than the Samsung that I have.  This monitor is over  
three years old and that's that.


I don't know what the Mini's limitation(s) are but with an effective  
256MB VRAM, it should be capable of more than the 1680 x 1050.


With regard to this group, I'm still on dial up on my ancient G4  
Gigabit with the 16MB 128 RagePro and it offers resolutions up to  
1920 x 1440 on an old Phllips Lightframe 19" CRT.

Hi Dan,

better to go for an XServe?


I need a model that can support an external Blu-Ray drive or any

It's sleek and fast but I don't know if it can handle all the

Re: frivolous question

[Stephen Conrad]

I am sure I have After Dark on one of my older machines. I also have Moire
on several of them.
On my current Quicksilver I use the Screen Saver. It was set to Flurry but I
changed it to Cosmos for now.

No, because inside the application bundles permissions vary

Are the applications broken?

   
I think I've managed to hammer everything back into working order.  
Thanks for the advice.

Most of the 22" Samsung SyncMaster I see are limited to 1680x1050  
native resolution.


You'll probably need to buy a newer, higher resolution monitor to  
get 1920x1080 or higher.



That's what I suspected.

I think that a 27" might be a limiting factor but still, it would  
provide a good deal more real estate...


Thanks,
