my G3 iBook has been alright, but then again I haven't got Cubase or Logic (yet) i would love a G4 17" powerbook though |

OS X Quartz rendering engine is based on Adobe PDF, not OpenGL. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well as far as i understood, Quartz Extreme is based on OpenGL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The primitives are PDF and some of the rendering is done with OpenGL. Most people don't really care unless you have to program with the stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah... yeah i just checked apple.com they've changed the Quartz page since I last visited, it's on about PDF stuff |

wow. I've seen the same set of arguments from both sides come round twice already now in this thread. |

lol! hey, you've got SHITLOADS of points!!! i'm envious |

i prefer bourbans for foul weather. |
||||||||
|

|
|
bourban biscuits??? i love bourban biscuits i love chocolate biscuits of all kinds! except ones with nuts, or raisins, or things i don't like on them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bourbans are wicked biscuits! I'm talking about bourban jackets though. They are waxed covered, which means comfort in those foul weather moments. |

you get 10.000 points from Phobiazero if you can prove you never use a mac. |

do you mean bourbons? |

i got my P4 2.4Ghz EIGHT MONTHS AGO!!! for only slightly more than what it costs you to get that G5, and that includes the printer and scanner too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehhe damn, that's me fucked then isn't it? do you think he'll believe me if i said i've never used a mac in my life?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that may be the spelling yes sir. proceed to spank me for my wrong-doing now. |
||||||||

I will smack you with a packet of custard creams. slap - slap - CUSTARDY SLAP!! |

do that speed with your mac and it will fry. oh and i use a mac at uni for genetics lessons and the only thing i find cool is when you put the cursor to the top right corner of the screen and the open windows go small and you can pick the one you want from them. I ALSO DEMAND A RIGHT CLICK!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheheh that'd hurt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh do please make them strawberry sir!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you didn't read my post: THERE IS A RIGHT CLICK IF YOU INSERT A TWO BUTTON USB MOUSE IN THE USB PORT!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only opened like nine web windows and the thing was dying on me. right now i have about 12 windows open and then winamp on my win2k and it's about the same speed as when i have one open. only thing slowin me down now is my shitty connection which i plan to upgrade in the next 6 months. |

"i like the handle here, that's so you can tie a rope to it and use it as an anchor!" *drop kicks the G3 to pieces* |
||||||||

well thats funny, because i can be burning a cd in the background, and still have enough system resources to do whatever the hell i want to do, even start up reason and mess about with meaty tracks i have a 900MHz G3, 640MB RAM not exactly mega spec machine (in Mac computing terms) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the thing is you have to go out of your way to install extra shit on a macintosh to give it the variety that a pc comes with already. who the fuck NEEDS a gui interface rendered in real time? personally, playing morrowind and deus ex 2 are much more important to me than a transparent window. oooh. and style xp bitch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah right, and you don't have to do shitloads of installing on a PC? oooh what do you get with ANY version of windows, out of the box? (and i don't mean when you get your machine from PC World or some shit like that, i meana fresh install of Windows) you get MSPAINT and WORDPAD big fucking deal |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true you do call the only fault a pc has, can't burn while doing other shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe i should get a mac to burn cd's and use my pc for everything else, but then that'd defeat the purpose cos i wouldn't be doing anything else at the same time on the mac cos macs are scary: "you have to trick the computer into doing what you wanted it to do" |

and it's only the third time he has mentioned it. he's very proud of it. |

lol yes i am actually, it just goes to show how superior Mac OS X combined with RISC chips are at managing memory and CPU access |

Anyone have any info if Apple will be releasing new monitors within the year. I'm looking to get one of those 23" monitors but I'd rather have it match my G5. A nice brushed metal look. Whatever they all work the same. Today I was using a 600 mb file in photoshop. Amazing what a Mac can do in the workplace. |

well my version of xp came with: internet explorer msn messenger outlook calculator command prompt notepad program compatibility wizard scanner & camera wizard windows explorer windows movie maker magnifier narrator on-screen keyboard utility manager windows media player sound recorder volume control hyperterminal network connections network setup wizard new connection wizard remote desktop connection (which is fucking awesome if you've got multiple xp machines on a good LAN) backup character map disk cleanup disk defragmenter (YSE!) file and settings transfer wizard scheduled tasks system restore freecell hearts internet backgammon internet checkers internet hearts internet reversi internet spades minesweeper pinball solitaire and spider solitaire so you're wrong. |

||||||||
|
|

btw, give up. mac people love macs, windows people love windows (beats me the fuck why, but anyway), so whatever. use what you like, i'm happy with what i have. |

Hahah. Trump card right there. By the way, the new 64 bit AMD chip is faster at photoshop than their Dual G4 whatever the fuck it is. |
||||||||
|

Im gonna be doing a bit of work at this computer recyclers tommorow, there is a heap of slightly old macs. might be G3, Which I am accually after. Gonna see if I can get me one!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I spotted one with S-Video+Composite video inputs on the back, I might have to start a thread about this but.. could I do some sort of realtime video effects with one of those? that'd be sweet, nothing fancy mind you. just something to fuck around with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it depends on the spec of them machine, and if you can get the right software for it. are they beige ones? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn typos *the not them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, those beige ones.. running at around 233-300 mhz. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if they've got enough RAM, and a decent graphics card in them they should be capable i reckon in college we had a beige G3 for video editing - had a S-VHS machine hooked up to it so we could transfer from tape to hard disk and vice versa pretty cool too i can't remember what software was running on it though, it's been nearly two years since i was in college |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
think i spotted a few with 64, another with 92mb ram. but yeah, i just want one cause its free. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It think my G5 has enough RAM (1.2 to be precise) but still.... I find it slow! I tought "the fastest personal computer in the world" would be alot faster :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like that i can run os9 programs on osx with osx programs in the background |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I don't "love" using Windows. Get real, son. |
