Ways to clean up old Macs, environmentally.
Ways to clean up old Macs, environmentally. 1 way to clean up an old Mac is to recycle a CRT monitor, and buy an LCD, especially a LED backed LCD. another way to do it is to upgrade to new/newer environmentally clean Macs. or at replace components with environmentally cleaner ones. for those who knows how to tinker with older Macs and it's hardware, and have G3 iMacs, or eMacs. you could gut the CRT and re-finish the Mac with an LCD display, just make sure the LCD matches the size of the CRT you're replacing. for my iMac G3 400, I knock off 20 Lbs most lead by using a 13 LCD in place of 13 CRT. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

One project i’ve seen done is an ‘all-in-one’ Mac using a CRT monitor casing. it's done by removing the actual tube and replacing it with the LCD screen from a dead ibook. a Motherboard/CPU from a shell broken G4 Quicksilver, HDD , DVD RWs etc could then all be mounted internal to the CRT case, behind the LCD, i have to admit, some of the crt cases i’ve seen have looked really nice (mainly the beige). alternatively, from the new crt monitors i’ve had open, there is usually a bit of free space. how about mounting a Mac mini board in the crt casing? http://www.jagshouse.com/images/iPlus.JPG --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Backing up users without backing up the whole OS X Boot volume
I would to make a Mac OS X volume, but just enough of it to back up my setting, and my user name to log on, not a whole Boot disk, and have it on my USB jump disk, and have just enough of System and Finder for the Migration Assistant to see it as an OS X to migrate my User from.

Re: Leopard On eMac
On Nov 9, 3:44 pm, Simon Royal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I have been running Leopard on my eMac G4 1.25Ghz with 1GB of RAM for a few days now. I must say I am very impressed with the performance. I think it actually runs better than my Intel iMac 1.83Ghz Core Duo did. I didn't see good performance on it until I upped the iMac to 2GB RAM. So for anyone thinking of running Leopard on a G4, I would say go for it. I did have it on the eMac with 512MB RAM and it chugged a little, but the 1GB made a lot of difference. This eMac maxxes at 2GB and now I am seriously thinking of upping it (at some point). It seems the older the Mac the more benefit of whacking loads of RAM in it is. Go for it, 2 GB of RAM would do it, I also have an eMac with Leopord on it, When I put a 2GB RAM Stick in it, it's very responsive, but with the 2nd 2GB RAM Sticks, it screams.

Re: G4 Tiger vs Leopard benchmarks
Leopard isn't Vista, but it's the first OS X edition to go slower on PPC Macs than it's predecessor. On Intel Macs Leopard actually runs faster than Tiger, so go figure? I found that the Leopard is optimized for X86 Macs, using mostly X86 coding whereas the 10.4.11 Tiger is optimized for PowerPC Macs. using mostly PPC coding. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
