I recently purchased an iMac G3 (http://lowendmac.com/1999/imac-rev-d/) in
really good shape. It came with the original installation/recovery discs
but they are in Dutch, and are for Mac OS 8.5.1. The discs still works
fine, but I'd like to install an English version of 8.6 instead. I have an

Technically it won't be PowerPC, but it would have all the benefits without the
problems with the G5 (they were working on powerful yet efficient processors)

I'm a big believer in the usefulness of old computers. My PowerBook 145b has
one of the most comfortable laptop keyboards I have ever used, and my Apple //c

certainly not as useful as some of the more modern lan
by years. The PowerBook name already spanned two processors,
why couldn't it continue into the Intel era? My guess is that Steve Jobs wanted
to erase anything that he didn't create, which is why the only PowerPC names
left are iMac and Mac Mini.

My guess would be to change the extensions. iTunes knows what format MP4 files
are by the extension, so if you change from .mp4 to .m4a it will know that it
is to be treated as an audio file.

The last time Apple released a new design that was largely criticized, the
features that were removed eventually made it back, and I think that's how it
will be with iTunes 10. Until then, there are plenty of ways to get around
Apple's mistake.

more cost effective to switch sooner and start buying movies on Blu-Ray so I
have fewer DVDs to replace later on. But I'm not planning on doing that very
soon, and for people who don't have a large number of videos and don't care
about HD that solution wouldn't make m
ike a Walkman, then sure it
won't last very long, but as long as you treat it like a device that has
complex computer parts, and (in the case of the iPod Classic), a hard disk
drive, they can last for a very long time.
