And I want Tim Cook to mend those fences as a nod to all us who collect and try to keep useful all the G-Macs that don't deserve to be shelved or minimized.

On purpose to make your hardware obsolete to make you buy new gear. Apple always claimed to be a hardware company. Th OS was made to the standard of the hardware and the code was hidden on purpose. PC code for the most part stayed the same so it's easier to be backwards capatible. If it wasn't for marketing and the return of Steve Jobs to make the Hardware cool looking (internals didn't change much as they already had G3's before he got back). Adobe is not going to write three separate codes for a smaller amount of non apple supported gear. Once Apple dropped support for G5 and below support, guess what hey told everyone else they could also. ________________________________ Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2013 10:00:49 -0700 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: G4 "Yikes" video problem that might be a known issue To: [email protected] I dunno how the list breaks that down. I do it by processor. I have had OSX Jaguar running on G3 Beige. Tiger loves the Pismo. Panther allows itself to be installed to the Lombard. The G-series processors really ought to NOT be in the Vintage category, but without the ability to do ALL modern tasks, (NO CURRENT FLASH), this is exactly what I label them. The shame here is that older PCs, even some Pentium II machines, can handle Adobe Flash and have access to the working versions. Whatever went on between Adobe and Steve Jobs, or Apple, did a horrible disservice to all those great older Macs. Meanwhile, I want the "G" procs in the Vintage category.

I wouldn't consider them "vintage", because they can all run some flavor of OS X, which was a pretty big step for the Apple family. -- [Greg Bennett] -Independent Carpenter, Electrician & Lighting Designer -Purveyor of Classic Apple & Macintosh Gear http://www.hsiprodsvcs.com/ http://www.macshack.us/ -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
