We accept Apple is moving on
...But for those of us who're going to be holding onto our PPC machines, as did those who held onto theirs before PPC, could we start a resource useful to make these machines stay current, run smoothly and efficiently? For example, it just came out of the OSX10.4 on G3 thread that you can turn of indexing and spotlight to get a much faster machine, as well as, install a better video card that stock on G3s, and I presume G4s. These are three good tips that could change the life of these machines and their owners. Could we pitch in similar tips and bits, here; everyone, and I will offer to make a file and post it in the files section of the group? This way there's a centralised place one could go to get this information; so it's efficiency for machine and owner. You may also contribute links.

Re: We accept Apple is moving on
I am not skilled at computers but I like that idea and would follow it. I am retired and would like to keep my older Apple going until I get a newer Apple computer in a few years.Once these new Apples grow older,they will be easier to afford. - Original Message - From: Nestamicky To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 29, 2009 9:02 AM Subject: We accept Apple is moving on ...But for those of us who're going to be holding onto our PPC machines, as did those who held onto theirs before PPC, could we start a resource useful to make these machines stay current, run smoothly and efficiently?
