Neowin Mac users

[y0sh]

I'm a neowin pseudo-mac user. I don't have the funds to buy a mac, so instead I just use the ones at my university (no one else does, so..).

Model

PowerMac G4

Specs

1 Ghz PowerPC G4

512 MB DDR RAM

A lot of HD space - server

OS

OS X 10.3.9

[Trancosrt]

2005 12" iBook <3

I'm in love with it and I bought it just 3 weeks ago!

I slapped a 256 sodimm I had around and BAM! 768mb for OSX to eat :D

I till use my XP box though. Too much HD, screen, and processor power to be wasted :s

I have been a PC user my whole life.

I used a Mac for the first time the other day. I almost pooped on the floor in the Mac store.

Mac > PC.

While I'm probably going to qualify myself as a total retro geek by posting this, these are my current Macs:

Power Mac 4400/200 (Tanzania board + worst case design ever), 144MB RAM, USB 1.1, 10Mbit Ethernet, 4 GB HD, running Debian Sarge in text mode quite happily. I need to get a silent fan for this, then it might be useful as a simple print server or something...

Power Mac "beige" G3/266 (rev. C), 32MB RAM (going to max this to 768 MB ASAP), 40GB HD, running Mac OS 8.6 (soon going to be replaced as default OS by Kubuntu or Debian). The one thing that stands out about this box is it being almost completely silent compared to most of my other computers. Not to mention a very service-friendly internal design compared to my PC boxes.

Since I'm not really a Mac aficionado, but wanted something retro goodness to play around with, I just rummaged through the leftovers after a computer cleanout at work and found these, and got them for free (as in beer).

:x

Until I get a Mac it's staying. :p

[AppleDave Veteran]

I am now a mac user :D

[gigapixels Veteran]

I know I've posted in this thread before, but I have an addition:

14" G4 iBook

1.42GHz G4

512MB RAM (hopefully upgrading soon to 1.5GB)

60GB HDD

Superdrive

Mobile Radeon 9550

I have COMPLETELY switched now... Both desktop and laptop. And I must say that I've never been happier with my computing experience...

I've got a quick question; do the new Macs come with any word-processing software built-in?

Thanks. :p

Not really, unless you're satisfied with TextEdit a WordPad like application.

Work finally bought me a new machine a few weeks ago:

dual 2.7, 2.5 gb ram - otherwise pretty much stock.

Now if only I could get them to pay for my .mac account.
