Im tempted to get the JBL's, are they that good? I want something which has a bit of bass to it, since the iMac speakers are pathetic for what i want

Yeah I these speakers are quality, they look like they are just your standard speakers but they really do kick some ass.

I'm listening to my brand new Creature II's and I have to say, they were worth every single cent I spent on them. They look amazing with my PowerBook and they sound insanely great. Crystal clear sound, powerful bass, a punchy mid, and all for 100 dollars US (I believe Amazon still has them for 60 or 70 though). Ill post some pictures soon :D

Uuggghh, makes me remember how much I love the old iMac G4's, my favorite out of all the line, lol. What did you do with it?

ATM my brother is using it because his windows laptop hard drive died, when hes got that fixed I'm having it back in my bedroom as a really expensive ornament :laugh: cant really bring myself to sell my first mac especially one as nice as the iMac G4 :)

is that an ipod nano dock or a universal dock?

It's a nano dock, would of got the universal dock if it was out when I ordered all my nano stuff :cry:

I think the nano dock looks a lot better since it's smaller. I'll probably get one with my nano. :)

Ahh gotcha, I would use it, have it up and running and maybe use it as a media device, you know have movies on it for viewing while you do other stuff or even a sort of media server if it has built in airport (can't remember if those came with it standard) I have my old iMac G3 still up and running, thats right, the original little 233 mhz Bondi Blue, lol

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all by Taras Buria Over the last few months, Microsoft has been very busy fixing Windows 11 with features that users have been asking the company for a long time. An upgraded Start menu, the ability to change the taskbar position, new Windows Update features, and plenty more. However, not all changes are visible on the surface. Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users. The so-called "Low Latency Profile" is a special performance mode that aims to make Windows 11 snappier and more responsive. It boosts the processor clock speed to its maximum for a brief moment when rendering user interface elements or launching apps. As such, apps launch faster, and things like the Start menu or quick settings appear on the screen faster, although some are sceptical about it. Microsoft is not sharing many details about the new profile. The official release notes do not even mention it, with Microsoft only saying that the update "accelerates app launch and core shell experiences such as Start menu, Search, and Action Center." Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and unpack wherever convenient. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:58989092 and press Enter. Restart your computer. After restarting your computer, launch Task Manager or any other hardware-monitoring software and check the processor clocks when opening the Start menu, Action Center, and more. Your processor should spike to its highest possible speed and then return to lower clocks. In addition to Low Latency Mode, the June 2026 Patch Tuesday update delivers additional features, such as multi-camera mode for apps (several apps can use a single camera stream), shared Bluetooth audio, improved Task Manager, and more.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I agree, especially with newer versions of MS Office supporting ODF documents, there isn't even a compatibility argument to be made. It should default to ODF on a clean install, with admin configurable options to make MS Office the default if that is desired.
    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
