Re: Overclock a G4 iMac?
I honestly don't know what everyone complains about with G4s and Flash. It runs nearly flawlessly on both the Quicksilver 933mhz I had and the &733mhz Digital Audio Power macs with basically stock hardware. Maybe the imacs are not so great since they were consumer level machines but honestly unless I try and run a you tube video at 720p it runs fine. But I would not expect a computer of any manufacture that old to stream HD anyway. Are my machines anomalies in that they handle youtube and other Flash sites just fine?

Re: Mail Archiving
Right around now each year I make two new folders "On My Mac," this year they're called "2010 Inbox" and "2010 Sent." I then manually slide about 200 posts at a time from the previous year from the current Inbox and Sent mail into these respective folders. If I highlight more, the process usually chokes. I looked into a solution with Mail 2.1.3 and Smart Mailboxes and/or Rules. Couldn't come up with anything that didn't break down on some detail. Such as the problem of trashing the old Inbox email without having it disappear from the Smart Mailboxes as a consequence. If there is indeed a way around this, it occurs to me that a clever solution would be to "archive" email as you go rather than making it a yearly batch chore - certainly possible. I see that Leopard's Mail 3.x has an Archive Mail feature. Interesting, not that I'd suggest the expense and trouble of installing Leopard for that reason alone.

iLife/iWork older versions for older Macs
I'm considering the purchase of older versions of these application suites. I'm after versions that will work in both Tiger and Leopard (full machine specs below). iLife '08 and iWork '09 would appear to be the way to go, but since I've never owned or used either of these bundles of apps, I could obviously use some advice. I'm wondering if these older versions are already too old to "enhance my digital life" by working seamlessly with MobileMe (etc., etc.) as they undoubtedly could when they were current. Anything later has to wait until I have an Intel Mac, and I'd love to try out the apps I have yet to (GarageBand, for one) anyway, so I suppose the foregoing is a moot point. In the meantime, it would be nice to get a working version of iPhoto going in Leopard 10.5.8 . It doesn't want any part of iPhoto 2.0.1 that it inherited from Tiger. This iPhoto came originally with Panther or Tiger, can't remember which. Probably updated at some point through some long-forgotten Software Update. Probably not "standalone" updateable anymore. Still, experimentally, I looked around. Tried a 4.0.3 download (wasn't finding anything in the 3's) without much hope. Check this out: "Neither iPhoto 4.0 nor iPhoto 4.0.1 could not be found in / Applications." I don't doubt the factual part - not surprising that 4.0.3 of anything might require 4.0 - but the *language.* Could that possibly be legitimate software anyway? Many of the download sites that come up in a Google search just seem so bogus. I guess I could also use some advice on reliable sources for Mac downloads aside from Apple itself (which is mostly limited to the newest stuff anyway). Lemme see what I've got bookmarked... PureMac, VersionTracker/cnet, that's about it. Seems like I used to have more. Musta been in the olden days of OS 9. Anyway, all that got me thinking that the only way to get a newer iPhoto was through iLife. Correct?

Re: Need a HP Laserjet Printer
Maybe you have an HP printer need I am overlooking, but for me, after several HP printer problems over the years and MANY HP ink cartridge problems I switched to a new Kodak printer about six months ago -- it's great and the ink cartridges are not only a great savings but do not clog even after extended weeks of being formant.

Re: Need a HP Laserjet Printer
After my trusty LaserJet 4ML died, I replaced it with a Laserjet P1006, which does everything I need and has worked well with my Beige G3 (768 MB with Sonnet 500 MHz G4 processor running Tiger 10.4.11). But like any laser printer, the toner cartridges are the catch. Prices for replacements for this model range anywhere from $20 (for no-name brands) to $70 for a "genuine HP replacement." This printer is apparently now discontinued, but if you can find one somewhere, I recommend it.

This has been hashed out in great detail before, but comparing DVD playback to streaming video from YouTube is like comparing a fish to a bicycle. DVD's are encoded for fast playback and (in the case of your Wally) you often have a specific co-processor to decode the thing in hardware.
