A LOT of Youtube's content is now HD, which is the problem; people connect to a yourtube video and it runs like crap because a machine that old is just not capable of decoding HD flash video, particularly with the Flash browser plugin. I can watch Youtube stuff adequately on my 1.67 GHz AlBook, but only by downloading the video (in my case with CosmoPod) so I can play the video with Quicktime (flash requires the Perian plugin, but so does real life,. it's a must-have QT plugin for all mac users <http://perian.org/> ) On my old 1Ghz TiBook even this wouldn't work with anything above 360p HD, which is pretty crappy. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
