Well everyone, I sold my PowerBook and bought... a brand new Dual 2.0GHz G5! It is amazingly fast. I am in love. :happy:

The worst part? Well, look at that damn monitor! Suffering with this horrible CRT from the early 90's until my new Dell LCD gets here. I'll repost a new shot then, once it's all set up and nice-ified. :cool:

STFU! :angry:

I know it sucks... :no:

ZZOOzzoo: Which monitor were you looking at getting? I got a 1905FP for $299 shipped ($479 with $200 off + tax) and got in right before the deal expired! I'd have liked one of the widescreen 20" or 24" monitors, but maybe later. This one will satisfy me for the time being.

Haha... yeah, it kinda detracts from even having the G5, as I feel that it's kinda useless at 1024x768... and 60Hz, so it's an eye killer too... :wacko:

Have been waiting a little while for this!

My Apple Mac Mini 1.42 / 1gb ram/ 80gb / Adobe Creative Suite / Tiger/ OfficeX machine :)

Its hooked up to a shiny Viewsonic VP171s 8ms monitor which suits it perfectly. Currently waiting on my new Apple Keyboard and Mouse from Apple UK - that older setup is borrowed from college, the media department took pity on my request as they know what its like having to wait! hehe!

Wouldn't be the same without the matching iDuck :p

I absolutely love this machine. Silent, powerful, tiny... Looking forward to getting my external 200gb hard drive hooked up once the caddy arrives and having my matching keyboard and mouse. Oh, and should be getting a set of the JBL Creature II speakers once a paypal amount settles into my bank :)

Hope you enjoy looking at this thing as much as I do!

Ben.

    • I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
    • The Radeon RX 9070 XT is right up there with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
    • I don't know why someone said useless, but it does have that pesky kernel driver bundled, and it's in perennial turmoil. When it goes bad, it goes very bad, and it's impossible to predict when it will due to system differences. I know that they're in the middle of development for a major new version that will include a completely new driver, one that they expect will largely solve the problem, but that's a ways out and it's unproven at this point.
