Well i got home and had to wait 2 hours but it finally showed up. I have to say i am impressed with the OS and the speed.Even with the older hardware it still runs fine. I will upload pics some time latter to night.

Please do so!

Damn, I adore those old Macs...
Some of them have the most spectacular designs ever.
iMac G4 and the iMac G3 are amongst my favorite computer designs ever.
Power Mac G5 introduced plain awesomeness and heck, the ACDs and the Power Mac Cube are so impressive, too.
All of them are on my "to buy" list amongst others haha

What he meant is imgur.com.
Albeit I think that uploading as Neowin post attachment is the best (don't use flipping huge files though haha), because it decreases dependency on 3rd party services to maintain the context and content of our topics.

Restore the disk image to a FireWire HDD or second partition of your internal HDD with Disk Utility.

Hello peopless,

I am thinking about geting a power mac G5 off ebay. I love how it looks and it still runs some modern apps just find. It can still play minecraft if you have a upgraded video card in it. Any of you guys have one and can tell me if you are still useing it on a day to day basis?

Thanks,
Matt

Get yourself a Core2Duo Mac (or at least one you can upgrade to a C2D like the later Core Duo Mac Minis). It will last you alot longer, and will be more useful.

You can easily pick up a Mac Mini with a C2D processor for < £200 from time to time.
