Re: OT OT OT need a reason ?
Yes, yes, I know what you're saying, and I feel your pain. I loved the Gs (all of them), and from experience, know that my G4 Sawtooth easily outperformed my Celeron of the same speed. But Motorola/IBM couldn't keep up. They were unable to deliver processors that could be kept cool in the increasingly important portable market. I also had high hopes for AMD, but they had already begun their slide into irrelevancy. What choice was there? Intel was eager to have Apple's business, and willing (and able) to provide whatever was needed. But the thing everyone seems to have forgotten is that Apple is a software company. The hardware is only there to support the software, and as such, is not important. Stability, reliability, and user experience are what you buy when you buy Apple, and if squirrels lived inside to provide power, it wouldn't matter. Remember when Woz built the Apple I with the cheapest hardware (because it was what he could afford), but created a way to use the processor off-cycles to boost graphic performance? The OS is what you use; the nuts and bolts don't matter...

Re: Trouble with Bondi again.
PS. I also checked MacTracker, and it says the Rev. A G3 iMacs only accept 256Mb of ram... I was about to buy two 256 ones from someone on the LEM swap, but should I just get two 128's? I am pretty sure I have a Rev. A iMac, since on the motherboard it doesn't say the revision. This isn't correct, they can accept 512MB also, in PC66, PC100 or PC133 SoDimm. Per LEM (http://lowendmac.com/imacs/rev-b-imac-g3-233-mhz.html): RAM: 32 MB, possibly expandable to 768 MB using two DIMM sockets, uses same SDRAM SO-DIMM as PowerBook G3, top DIMM socket accepts 2 DIMM, bottom socket takes 1.5 DIMM. All tray-loading iMacs work with modules up to 128 MB. Field reports indicate that they will work with 256 MB and 512 MB modules as long as they are CL2 modules. With a 512 MB module and a low-profile 256 MB module, it's theoretically possible that these iMacs could support 768 MB of RAM. Be careful--not all RAM is the same.

Kernel Panic on Cube
Help! I've always admired the aesthetic design of the Cube, which came out right after I bought my first Sawtooth (figures). I've watched the prices for years, anticipating the day when it would fall below the You paid how much? threshold. Having arranged a swap, I've got my Cube, nicely upgraded with a GeForce 6200 256 Mb video card. I suspect this to be the source of my trouble. The thing will run OS 9, but KPs when booted from any OS X installer disc (I've tried several different versions). I see Tiger as the best OS for this machine, but my efforts to install it have yet to bear fruit. I tried target mode from the Sawtooth, and the installer ran fine, but KP again on reboot. Just to see, I tried a boot from my LaCie Quadra (where do they find these names?), which contains the back-up from my MacBookPro (10.5.6). Boots and runs, although not in a usable manner with a 450 MHz processor (1.5 GB RAM). Is video handled that much differently in Leopard, compared to Tiger, to make the difference? I can't help but suspect the video card to be the culprit, having had similar experience with a flashed PC card that I got on eBay for my Sawtooth. My only other idea would be to install Tiger to the Quadra, boot from that, and clone to the Cube, but that seems a little silly...

I hooked my TFT monitor up to my iMac G3 via the VGA port on the back (for mirroring) and the picture was just as fuzzy, so it is the monitor after all. Maybe I am just very fussy, but the picture quality and crispness on the iMac G3 is about the best I have seen in a long time. I then checked the picture on my iBook G3 and PowerBook G3 and while this is very good it doesn't measure up to the sharpness of the iMac - another thing that makes them awesome machines. Simon Yes, Simon, I agree. Compared with the Window$ machines I suffer with at work, all my old Macs have better, crisper, easier-to-read displays. I think Window$ users are conditioned to expect crappy performance. Must have something to do with Quartz, or Core, or some such...

Re: Recent Finder Problem ... Just Busy Behind the Desktop Scene?

First time facts escape me but I think maybe it was Spotlight working ... Today, I moved / installed a Seagate 80GB hard drive from my PowerPC 8500 PCI ATA channel into an External Oxford FW case I used to have a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D drive in (but moved that one to my QS since it's internal one was failing ... both the same model from 2003) ... When it came up on the Desktop, I did a Get Info then my Finder just went into Busy Mode ... I could open and play iTunes things, open Mail and look around, but couldn't close them ... each got stuck being partially closed ... and then there's the spinning beachball when I navigate to the Desktop ... Any hints on what happened? Couldn't open Activity Monitor to see what was going on Bill Connelly Musician and Painter artsite:http://mysite.verizon.net/moonstoneartstudio/ myspace:http://www.myspace.com/moonstoneartstudio Yes, I've been getting that, too. On my last generation PowerBook, I've also had repeated kernel panics at the point after login when all the stuff is started. Looking in CrashReporter log tipped me to syslogd. Activity Monitor showed this process hogging 80-100% processor. This is not a new bug (just new to me), and has been documented since the testing versions of Leopard. The goog found me this page: http://www.spockboy.com/blog/archives/8 where I did: Firstly, stop syslogd sudo launchctl unload com.apple.syslogd.plist Open up the syslogd.plist file for launchd: sudo vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist Find the following line (on an unmodified version, line 23): string/usr/sbin/syslogd/string Add these lines after: string-c/string string0/string Start syslogd again: sudo launchctl load com.apple.syslogd.plist It's working so far - processor is down around 20-30% with the normal 4-5 apps running, and the system feels responsive again.
