I routinely use a MDD G4 with dual CPUs. I do CAD work and software development on it for embedded systems. It's not my main machine, that's a MacBook Pro. Many days I use the G4 more than the MBP. I don't watch streaming video on it but I do watch mp4 video files on it. And when I've compiled the code I'm working on I use a G3 Pismo to download it to the MicroController I'm working on. Besides CAD and editing / compiling I use the usual web browsing, database, word processing, spreadsheet, etc. applications on it. My household fileserver is a G4 QuickSilver with a SATA card and about 2Tb of storage. Yes, G4s are still quite viable. As to being crazy, I can't say but there is nothing wrong with using a G4 for daily use. > > PS: Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian. Your "bad" english is better than quite a few so called native speakers I've seen on the Internet. It is certainly better than my Italian which is non-existant. -- 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.
