I'm glad you asked that. The Missouri Compromise refers to Lincoln's sweetheart deal with Missouri that allowed that state to keep slavery up and running while siding with the Union. The analogy is of course when Apple axed the clone successionists, and bought up PowerComputing to obtain the...ahh...human resources to run their 'Apple Store' (yeah yeah...it's easy to be the big cheeze when there's no competition, eh Steve??) The Rev 1 B&W ATA controller chokes on HD's larger than 6G, The workaround is to install an ATA card in 1 of the 3 measly PCI slots. Great engineering... (Oh look...an ADB port! Thanks Steve!! Well, at least one can still use their mouse and keyboard, even if the RAM, HD, CRDOM, PowerSupply and even screws from the mighty PowerTowerPro don't bloody well work on a B&W !! And Firewire? Oh, Apple finally worked out all the bugs by the time they shipped the G4 Digital Audios. Prior to that, the simplest solution was to install a Firewire card to ensure against corruption alongside a USB 2. card in that third slot. > What's so special of 7.5 over 8.5? It's free.
