funny, i came across this, a Dear John letter (http://comment.zdnet.co.uk/other/0,39020682,39173930,00.htm), which says the same thing in a different way. There are too many of these nowadays.
Good.
Yeah, I liked that letter.

Ah, cool, that all makes more sense now. Hmm, how many posts will I need until I'm a 970? ;)

Yah, I noticed there's not too many of us. Ah well, we're the trend-setters and pioneers up here in Canada then! Nice to meet a fellow Canuck as well!

Hi guys,
Been a regular reader of the site for ages, just never actually registered! Anyway...
I took delivery of my Dual 867 G4 last week, with 768 RAM, and the ATI Radeon 9000 to order.
Everything flies - games etc. in OS 9 (Quake/Unreal Tournament) are stunning - speed in 9 is blistering, and overall speed in 10 is excellent, which means I now use 10 as my primary OS.
But there's one seemingly glaring problem - when I do anything in the finder (I'm using the word "finder" as in the OS-9 understanding of it - sorry!), even when I first start up, with no progs running, and I drag a window around or something, the window movement is "jagged" - it kind of glitches approx. every second. This happens with window drags, dock scrolling with magnification on, doing the selection box around files on the desktop, dragging HD icons around on the desktop - almost everything, including sometimes minimizing using the genie effect. Dragging web-browser windows, itunes, and every other app's windows also does the same. Also (not really important) - when the apps I'm loading bounce in the dock as they're opening, sometimes the bouncing animation glitches too. But strangely, scrolls in programs such as Photoshop and other graphically-intensive apps are as smooth as anything. As are screensavers (and games) that are accessing the card using OpenGL etc. It only seems to be standard finder/desktop stuff. Video/DVD playback is also fine.
The most annoying thing is, I was installing 10.2 on a new 700mhz iMac we got in at my work today - and, even though it only had 256 in it, and the 32mb Geforce4 instead of the 64mb 9000 I have, the window drags and EVERYTHING I've mentioned, were as smooth as anything - albeit my machine is faster and more continuous, with less "submarining" as the windows drag etc - more instantaneous - but, the iMac (and 2 other dual 867s with the Geforce4 in them and less RAM I've tested) was smooth - resulting in a system that felt more responsive - even though speed was probably faster on mine, but doesn't feel it because of the glitching.
Has anyone any ideas to help me with this please? Is it maybe a driver compatibility problem of some sort, and I should just wait for an update to 10.2 and/or the ATI radeon 9000 drivers?
Please help!
Thanks in anticipation,
Mark

I found this one amazing Apple Fact out there on the web:
Bill Gates' house was partially designed using a Macintosh computer.
Google that, its true, I can't believe it! Why wasn't Windows good enough for him to make his own house, huh? Ok, sorry I just had to post that.

I thought he said JDK 1.4...
In any case, I'm sure he was asking about Java version 1.4, which is the current version. Hopefully it will be available soon for Mac OS X.
Jaguar ships with Java version 1.3.1.
Is it just me, or does there appear to be a lot of color variation in the front panel sections on the various Xserves?

That doesn't seem to be what he's inferring there. It just looks to me that he's comparing future specs of a PPC7455 to a PPC970.

Hey M.R. peeps,
Finally got my G3 up running for MR fold team,but 1 thing is stumping me on setup .. How do i setup folding@home when i'm complete n00b in terminal? :o :o
Use either increase or the mc68k script however I don't know how you would get the mc68k script as the site it was on no longer has it.:( He probably moved it and i was not paying attention. :o

what is the point of all these other burning apps? how hard is it just to burn a DVD or CD? :confused: i thought that Toast was just accepted at the standard app for burning CD's? why bother with anything else? but i guess, different apps for different folks...
the point is that Dragon Burn allows for multiple simultaneous disc burning, which is a capability lacking in Toast. the multiple burners don't even have to be the same model. so, I could burn two CDs at the same time, using my internal combo and my external Pioneer 107. if Toast gets the multi-burning feature, that would be tremendous, but for now Dragon Burn does the job.

This is all interesting news.
I may have to try folding on my Macbook C2D! I am not a big production output guy, and my G5 has been down and out of folding to save on power, and wear ;) .

then how about next year?
perhaps, apple is not there yet, but since the topic comes up so much like the lcd imac concept did, it will become an eventual reality
...but by the time it does come around, i don't think many people will really care that much since there will most likely be a g5 powermac, dual, running well beyond 1.5 ghz, with a 4 GB RAM capacity

Obviously it's faster, but has anyone actually checked how much faster? I'd like to switch my main box to the console app but I don't want to lose all the work I've done on this WU.. Is there a way to do that, or should I just bite the bullet and lose the current WU?

I currently have my own forum (phpbb) that I run on my website. I recently just got a new hosting provider and I'd like to transfer my forum from my older provider to the new one.
The problem I run into is that because my database is about 25 megs in size I have to find some way to break it down into smaller chunks because they will not allow me to upload the file in any larger than two mb chunks.
Anyone out there have any experience with this that they might be able to offer some advice?

i will be installing 31 3.6GHz P4 with HT next week
all will have 2 folding processes on them with 2 seperate machine IDs
my little contribution. hopefully they are not too loud/hot or i may have to scale back. don't want the machines to die if the AC goes out. should make me #2 for the team output and hopefully give the team a little boost. small output by a large number of people is better in the long run though
