RE: What Mac to buy - and from where?
Actually the MacPro 1,1 is stuck at 10.7.5 at least mine is, but it sounds like you want something that can run Snow Leopard since you have some PPC programs Kurt A.

Bob, The MacPro 1,1 is stuck at OS 10.6.8. I'd try for something with more upgrade future. The new MacPros haven't hit the market place yet and folks might be getting worried about the new design shift to less internal expandability. Until then, the older MacPros might be at a premium.

RE: Most reliable G4 tower model , least reliable
I have never had a problem with my MDD DP 1.42.Ghz (FW800) 2 GB Ram with a 120 GB drive and a 500 GB drive running 10.5.8 flawlessly. Peace Kurt A.

I vote for them as the most reliable G4, but with one caveat. The air intake grill is set up under the front foot and it is possible to not know it is there or to forget to keep it clean. If it gets clogged with dust you will probably get a power supply failure. The power supply on both mine failed at the same time but, having it repaired was easy, and they are back at work. I'll accept the blame for not keeping the air intake grill free of dust. == On Oct 28, 2010, at 10:00 PM, Bruce wrote: > Hello, > > Most Reliable G4 Tower: > > MDD Dual 1.25 > -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

RE: IS the world about to change ?
A friend of mine responded the below and I get the point. I think Bruce Johnson missed the point on that last poster. You're not exercising a sense of entitlement by pointing out that a corporation has abandoned their original core beliefs. If I offer to deliver a superior product while promising to avoid the forced obsolescence shenanigans characteristic of my competitors, and then break my promise, you're not displaying an entitlement complex by calling me on it. The problem is proving that abstaining from forced obsolescence shenanigans was ever "promised". Ergo, the aforementioned "marketroid gobbledegook that's changeble per the whims of the moment and has no legal standing whatsoever". It is the epitome of arrogance to position yourself a certain way in the marketplace -and earn the trust of your customers by hewing to a certain ethical standard, then crap all over the standard and blame your customers for being upset about it.

No. A corporate charter is a legal document which is 99% boilerplate stating who the officers of the corporation are and how the company is set up. There is normally zero mention of customers or any mention of the country, other than the legal requirement to state the location of incorporation. What you're talking about sounds like a corporate 'mission statement' which is normally just marketroid gobbledegook that's changeble per the whims of the moment and has no legal standing whatsoever. Perhaps old corporate charters for things like the East India Company had such stuff in them, but the EIC was being chartered as a quasi-government. They had a standing army and navy. > > Why should Apple make that machine I mentioned at an affordable price ?

Call the waaahmbulance for that overinflated sense of entitlement you have"Apple must sell me what I want or else they're EVIL!!" All of Apple's "public trust" is based on one thing, and one thing only: they sell things that people happily want to exchange their money for. They're a company, a commercial venture, selling things that you may or may not purchase. They're not a religion, a country, or some deeply engrained social construct. A company, which sells things. No more, no less. If they don't sell you what you want, find someone who does, or, failing that, step into the breach yourself. Sell a computer as easy to use, with as well-made an OS, for $500; this is the essence of capitalism. Oh yeah, do it without copying their work, because, you know, it's *theirs*, no fair cheating... -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.

Question regarding non-mac monitors/display
Hello, Quick question, request for advice. I was wondering what are some of the pros and cons and/or pieces ( cables/etc...) that I would need to hook up a non-apple display to a G5 Quad? Is this even possible? The monitor I am looking at does have a DVI port. Thanks in advance.
