Re: Upgrading the emac is it worth it
I just found a Emac 1.25Ghz combo drive 2004 model. off the nature strip trash picked. It worked well the only Problem is the combo drive doesn't open properly. I wiped the computer reinstalled mac os x 10.4 tiger. 1gb of ram 40gb hard drive combo drive ati radeon 9200 The Problem is Mac os 9.2.2 doesn't boot on this model. mac os 9 was never supported on this model There's no core image It has airport extreme support My Opinion is a G4 witch can't boot mac os 9 should have a core image graphics card Core image Graphics cards don't work Properly in mac os 9 especially for 3d games. I still have my underpowered emac 700 with 256mb of ram. Do you know any one in melbourne, victoria who is getting rid of there 2002 powermac G4. I don't want have to keep switching emacs just to boot into mac os 9 and use usb 2.0.

From this moment I notice a lot of hard drive action in the background due to Sophos av (I know this from looking at Sophos Icon in the menu bar). Anyone has more info to shed some light on this... By default most AV softwares seem to check too much, I think. That initial long scan is probably what you're seeing. Tell it to stop. Then tell it to just watch your Download and Mail folders (specific places where an incoming file will land). Sadly, unless Sophos has dramatically changed their product (and it's not included with our Campus license) you cannot specify anything below the level of mounted, internal volume to scan. That's right, you can't even scan a USB thumb drive. :-( Once upon a time Sophos was a good, unobtrusive AV solution for Macs. Alas, they've not really improved the product in years. It's still mostly unobtrusive (And you should just let it get it's scan done already), but it's not as usable as ClamXAv. It is with some redness in my face that I have to say that I installed Sophos AV without any virus problems on my iMac. That's ok. Malware *is* becoming an issue for us. It's time. Best to be prepared. We recommend either Sophos or ClamXav. ClamXAv is working well for me; it keeps finding stuff (all PC viruses and phishing mails) in my University mail account that MS's mighty mighty Enterprise-grade BPOS lets through...(and note, that should be said in a voice so dripping with acid sarcasm and disdain as to put an Alien queen to shameBPOS really is a Big Pile of S___ ) That said, I still don't run AV on any of my personal macs, haven't since the demise of the late, great Disinfectant.
