Macs? LOL I've got a few here... Some aren't even Macs anymore!

Lisa (not a Mac at all.) - original, untouched Lisa. Given to me free, complete, working with all the discs, books and boxes.

Color Classic - well, it WAS a color classic when it worked, it now has a TFT and a mini-ITX motherboard. Now runs Windows 2000 and MacOS8.1

iMac Revision A - again a mini-ITX machine, bought as a shell from eBay (?26!) for a few plastic parts. Turned out to fully working, just be missing the logic board tray. So with a bit of home cable making and a DB15 to HD15 adaptor, is now a PC. Again, 2000 and MacOS8.1

Indigo 350 iMac - 'QwaQwa'. 512MB RAM Runs his own web site. OS X 10.2.6

1GHz 15" SuperDrive TiBook - my main machine. Goes everywhere, does everything. Currently has 1.5GB of RAM. OS X 10.2.6

Dual 1.25GHz G4 with 23" TFT. 1GB RAM. Bought JUST before the 1.42GHz came out :no:: . Turns out RC5-72 units and generally mopes about in the corner. May be converted to OS X Server to make the next machine discless.

1.2GHz Cube (450 DVD model). 1GB RAM Adding the upgrade and fan made it mighty noisy. Thinking of switching back to it's original processor, dropping the HDD out and running it via NetBoot for a REAL silent PC. Just general web surfing dutys and looking cool in the living room connected to a 52" plasma screen. Switching from TV to OS X impresses people no end:))

If you can get your hands on 1GB PC133 high density SO-DIMMS, you can have 2GB. However, I have never managed to find more than the one I have now. I've seen DDR ones (at HUGE cost), but, have yet to see any more PC133 ones for sale...

there's only 2 SO-DIMM slots in the TiBook, how do you manage to throw in more than 1GB of ram in there?

what are you talking about? the 15" TiBook does not support DDR.

i'm lost. educate me.

Emmm. That's fairly easy to understand.

You get 2 PC133 (non-DDR) 1GB High Density SO-DIMMS.

2x 1GB = 2GB.

I then went on to say that I had seen DDR ones for sale recently, but no further 1GB PC133 ones.

Apple said the WallStreet only supported 192MB.... I ran 512MB happily in mine, as did several other people...

Apple said the original iMac only supported 384MB.... I ran 512MB happily in mine, as did several other people...

See a pattern here? :yes:

haha i see. thanks for the info! :)

I'll be joining the Neowin Mac community on Wednesday when I'll be getting a 12.1" Powerbook G4.

I'm kinda excited but worried, mainly because I've been on Windows for like ever and I'll have to start again on another OS.

Anyways heres the spec I'm getting:

12.1-inch TFT Display

867MHz PowerPC G4

256MB DDR266 memory

40GB Ultra ATA/100 drive

DVD/CD-RW drive

Don't worry to much about switching.... The first few days is where the pain is....

Your trained Windows brain wants to work one way and Mac OS X doesn't play ball...

Then suddenly as you experiment more.... you forget Windows and begin to awaken to the

joys of OS X Jaguar...

People ask me what's it like when you switch?

I say, remember the scene in The Matrix, when Neo is reborn into the The Real World.....

There's a few days of pain as he gets used to the Real World... his eyes hurt.... then he starts learning

judo and karate..and suddenly he begins kicking ass...

I say using OS X is a bit like that.....

Wise Words from the Kemical One...

Mac OS X... the choice of the Kemical GenerAtion

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
