WOW, you sound uptight. I am EXTREMELY thankful about my fabulous
G4. It's my second one actually. I have preached Mac's to my pc
friends for over 20 years about how great they are - and more
importantly how I am always doing stuff while they are always stuck
mucking around in their computers just trying to get them to work!
This goes back to the day Dr. Alessi made me try his Mac SE. I was
hooked, so I went home, threw my TRS-80 in the trash - yep- right to
the curb- even though it had TWO floppy drives, and then went out and
bought a MAXED out SE with its beautiful 9" screen. Ahh what a day.
Anyway, No offense Yershina, I just thought it might make some people
laugh and and brighten their day. I decided to write something funny
- and stick it to Murphy's law. Ha! Even Murphy cant break down my
Mac! Have a great day everyone.

Hi. I have a 2002 G4 933 Quicksilver. It has a 250 gb (Seagate) and
a 128 gb (WD) ide drive, 500 gb sata drive, pci sata controller, pci
gigabit ethernet card, pci 4 port 2.0 usb card, geforce ti 4600
128mb,
and its connected to a a 23" Apple Cinema Display via ADC. I am using
OS 10.4.11. This machine runs flawlessly and I have no problems.
So what am I doing wrong? Any ideas?
Yes, IMNSHO you are doing something HORRIBLY WRONG -- THIS POST!
What is the MATTER with you?! You are dismally failing to just
appreciate it when you've got one of those precious rare instances
of something GOOD happening in the mostly sucky endeavor we call
Life! In this case -- you have a beautiful Quicksilver which runs
flawlessly and does everything you need it to do. BE THANKFUL!!!!!
IMO upgrades are only NECESSARY when (a) the present computer no
longer does what you actually NEED it to do (word processing vs.
gaming, for instance: I mean heck, I bet an an old Mac Plus on
System 6 would be enough for an obsessed writer who doesn't care
about games, music, pictures or videos; but it sure as hell
wouldn't do a graphics-intense and/or online game addict any
good!), or, (b) the computer is running too slowly or is outright
malfunctioning, which makes it way easier and maybe also even
cheaper to buy a newer, "better" one instead of fixing or upgrading
the one you have which has become insufficient or problematic.
But if that NON-PROBLEMATIC Quicksilver 933 of yours IS doing
everything you need it to be able to do, I think you should count
your blessings, ENJOY it, bask in its beautiful sunlight and remember:
IF IT AIN'T BROKE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIX IT.
