Hi Kris & everybody, I actually use an original Apple aluminum keyboard that was sold together with the later G5s I assume. On the "Option" key it says "alt" and on the Dutch "wis" key it says "delete". So which is it? English, Aussie, Canadian? Not US I assume ...
Yes, I transplanted my G4 disks running Tiger to my G5. Installed some G5-specific tools, I'm now an official Apple developer and got them. I like the Processor tool, had it's predecessor on my G4. You can switch off & on the cores and see how hard they work. Amazing to see that Gmail and Facebook are real hogs. My quad is running all-out just to retrieve my mail or send messages on FB using TenFourFox. Again my heartfelt kudos for Cameron, you are a champion my man. And the Temperature Monitor. This thingie shows the temp at 11 different spots in the Mac. Amazing. The pinnacle of Apple design IMO. So how do I get the option back to chose a different startup disk? Don't tell me to "upgrade" to Leopard. I saw it on another G5 and hated it. Too dark, too obscure. It takes away a lot of control from the user, dumbing him down as it were. At least my first impression. A great feature was that I could clone my running startup disk to another drive. CCC on Tiger can't do that. Another issue is that I cannot see my USB-sticks on the desktop anymore. Worked fine first but now I only see the SDs on my hubs. I hope to hear of some magick to get this basic startup feature back. In the past it saved my day many times. BTW, anything I should keep an eye on this machine? It's the latest edition of the G5, the revised fluid-cooled quadcore. It has seen some years of troublefree service and all the cores have similar temps, core 3 and 4 running a bit warmer by 2 to 5 centigrades. Max. temp I reached yet was 70 centigrades on core 4. TIA for your helpful comments.
