iMac DV SpeedUp?
I have had an open eBay search for over a year to get a FastMac upgrade to make my graphite DV a G4. No luck. Can anyone recommend a place where I can finally get something?

RE: Best TV tuner card for iMac G3 350 MHz Blueberry (8 MB ATI Rage VR)
I have an iMac DV graphite and it is barely fast enough to handle TV. I found the older EyeTV USB units to be the only workable solution for me. I ran OSX 10.4 with the stock software and iTunes and remote control software only and it was kind of pokey. The units tend to burn out for some reason also, I have been through 3 If there is an alternative, it would have to be from the same age/era. I think this e'list is web-searchable, you might want to hit the archives for more info on this, we have discussed this off and on over the last 2-3 years. Good luck! --sc -Original Message- From: Austin Leeds firepowerforfree...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, 26 August, 2011 10:34 AM To: iMac Group imaclist@googlegroups.com Subject: Best TV tuner card for iMac G3 350 MHz Blueberry (8 MB ATI Rage VR) Hi all, I was recently given two iMac G3s: a 333 MHz Lime and a 350 MHz Blueberry. Swapped in a new 60 GB hard drive into the Blueberry, and it's working really nicely. Also, it came with an AirPort card already installed. For the price of $0, it's a real gem ^_^ I'm considering using it as a small TV/SNES emulator station, so I'd like to see what TV tuner card (probably USB stick) would be best for it. Any suggestions? Thanks, Austin Leeds -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

RE: Google dropping support for older browsers in 2010
There's also something to be said for personnel knowing a mature system for security. I worked for Sungard Availability Services where certain systems/etc have to have 99.999% uptime. So in 2007 they had WinXP (from 2002) systems with IE 6 all patched up with other layered security parts throughout the OSI stack because their XP config had been tested/validated for several years. I'd bet money they won't go to Vista or Windows 7 until 2012 at least, if that. It took them years to go from NT4 to XP... OSI mnemonic for younger folks: All People Seem to Need Data Processing Application Presentation Session Transport Network Data-link Physical So there's another reason IE 6 isn't going anywhere for a while. But I don't think Google is really concerned with the market that Sungard serves. -Original Message- From: imaclist@googlegroups.com [mailto:imacl...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dan Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 11:04 AM [snip] Being behind the times is par for a lot of large businesses. This occurs when IT groups intentionally set things up so as to maintain their job security. It's bad planning and bad oversight (management). OTGH, it's a quite necessary, as the hacker underworld needs it to survive.

RE: Google dropping support for older browsers in 2010
The window is not just closed on low-end Mac users, but low-End PC users, folks with Newton MessagePads, not-iPhone-phones, and about a zillion other devices most of us have never heard of. To an extent, I see this as a business opportunity for someone with some money+guts+meda savvy. As Microsoft and Google and Apple (and Adobe) continue to chase after the disposable income of society's upper crust with software features (and bloat), they continue to leave a gap with the other 95% of the computing world (people in The West without a computer made in the last 2 years, plus another billion people in Asia/Africa/South America). A person/company with money+guts+media savvy would: 1. Invest $n in a browser app suite that runs in a cloud computing environment like Amazon or Terramark or etc. a. Maybe just invest in a proxy that layers in front of Google Apps and acts like a pass-through between the client and Google. 2. Invest $n in contracting out some developers with savvy in developing for the top n low end browsers 3. Invest $n in getting the word out that no browser left behind. Of course this is all theoretical. I don't know what the ROI would be on such a thing. -Original Message- From: imaclist@googlegroups.com [mailto:imacl...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MacDiva Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 11:05 AM To: iMac Group Subject: Re: Google dropping support for older browsers in 2010 Well then they will loose many users, won't they? if all Internet businesses did this, they are effectively closing the window to the Internet to low end users with Macs that are already very capable but cannot, even of they wanted upgrade to those newer browsers. I know of TechSmith also, that will not have available their Jing to users that do not have the latest OS in Mac. What a waste. I have looked without success for an older version of Safari for my 12“ , 800 Mhz iBook and cannot find it. I am stuck with the older Safari on that machine. So in the future, it is going otbe the best Internet for those who can afford to buy bew computers with their accompanying OS. who says there is freedom of information? is this a concerted strategy from business?

This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers. We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar. Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above. Starting this week, users on these older browsers will see a message in Google Docs and the Google Sites editor explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser. We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change. In 2009, the Google Apps team delivered more than 100 improvements to enhance your product experience. We are aiming to beat that in 2010 and continue to deliver the best and most innovative collaboration products for businesses.

Kindergarden Software for OS X Graphite?
Hopefully the subject line says it all. I have a Kindergartener and need to get all of the educational-level stuff I can find that will run on my iMac Graphite/DVD system running OS X 10.4.3. I had a resource list somewhere on my system and now can't find it. All help appreciated, software listings or commercial recommendations or anything.
