sounds about right to me from personal experience....every receptionist i know uses pcs (100%).......every artist, either graphics or video or audio, use macs (100%)....just my experience, but i know many receptionist from working at a large university hospital, and i know many artist (because artist are cool)....g
<strong>Hey anyone still using a Mac from 1989? If so what is the latest OS it will run?</strong><hr></blockquote>
7.6.1, but only if it is a IIci. All other machines that were released before Dec 1989 can use up to 7.5.5, with the exception of the original 128 and 512K macs. I've got a 512Ke running 6.0.4. I love System 6!!!!

my office is all mac. everyone, bosses, even the receptionists use macs. But we did just buy a pc cuz we needed it for something specific, but its funny a lone pc on a mac network, i wonder if its sad
To anyone who has a dual 1K, does it use Cl2 or Cl3 RAM?
I have one on order and it is killing me waiting for it, especially seeing that G3 tower and screwdriver, (why does Apple use that as the machine icon and, is that is what Apple will send me?) however, I wanted to get another 512 for it but, I am unsure as to what varity.
Yep, it's CL3 RAM. I just got mine today. You know what else it is? It's fast as all get out hell. I got it to replace my B&W G3 and man, it SMOKES! Q3A runs great, RTCW is smooth as polished glass. It may not be a G5, but I wouldn't know any better!
<strong>hey Kid Red I was wondering if you could give me any info on how to get into the whole porn site making thing. If it pays that well i would deff be intrested, i think it would be kinda fun, much better than the corprate stuff im doing now.

You're better off sending me a prvt message or an email, it's a tad bit involved to pu into a thread here.
KidRed, can you run iTunes and play a song and tell us how much CPU iTunes uses while playing. for best results choose the smallest player window (no playlist, etc) and hide itunes. The type "top" in the terminal and see how much of the CPU itunes takes.
I ask because this is my #1 complaint against itunes, as it is way to processor hungry. On my iMac (g3/333) it sits at about 20% while playing and spikes to 40ish when a new song starts. This drags my entire system down. People with g4s have gotten results that were not much better. I'm curious to see if iTunes still takes 15+% cpu time even with a ghz machine. If it does, something is very wrong.
Hey KidRed! You should keep your other PowerMac (unless you need the money...right..) and try that clustering software described in the "Clustering" thread!
You could be the cutting edge of the Prosumer Personal Parallel Computing revolution that could leapfrog the mhz divide!! You could become something of legend and hero to us all!! Seriously, it seems straight forward (ethernet them and run Pooch). THEN check your megaflops.
Cheers to the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
SizzleChest: Yea, lots of Bridgetowners here, but The Computer Store is a great Apple retailer. We just lag the country in getting things shipped it seems.

I'm not KidRed, but here's what it does: 7.5-5.4%
I used the "small" player and got the results from top. I just got my dualGHz today, and it's really, really smooth. I'm writing this from Omniweb, which was too slow to use on my B&W G3 400, but runs unbelievably smooth on this.
My dad's work used to be pretty much all Mac but that's changed. I know somebody has a G4, but other than that and him, it's all PC now. And with the computers he's been replacing, he's been ordering PCs.
"We got a 1 GHz Dell for $1000." That pisses me off entirely.

Thanks Jay, those were the kind of results i was hoping for. I still wish it were under 5%, but what can you do?
<strong>KidRed you can't possible have a new G4 since, as I shouted at you last week, Apple won't release new Power Macs before Feb. 1!
Man, first I jumped on you about that display promo, then I jumped on poor time, I think I better check my humility dipstick 'cause I'm at least a quart low.
And seriously, congrats on an awesome system. I suspect I'll be making a trek to the Apple store this weekend. That display promo is just too good to pass up.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Graphic Designer Now Mad Apple Is Shipping New G4s
When Apple announced new iMacs on January 7th, graphic designer and PowerMac user Mark DeLucci was infuriated Apple did not update the PowerMac at the same time. Three weeks later, DeLucci is infuriated the company has.
"The minute Steve (Jobs) finished his keynote I was on the web," DeLucci said. "I logged on to the forum at Ars Technica and went off on Apple for making the iMac so powerful while not updating the PowerMac at all. That was a complete slap in the face to graphic designers and other power users."
DeLucci's posting at Ars Technica was too extensive to republish, but a particularly salient passage read "Steve f***ing Jobs can kiss my f***ing ass for being such a f***ing shifhead (sic). The way Apple has f***ed power users since Jobs came back is f***ing inexcusuble (sic). He's a f***ing bastard in my bok (sic) and I will never buy a ficking (sic) Mac from thet (sic) f***ing jirk (sic) agein (sic)."
"Just look at that," DeLucci complained. "I sound like an idiot. They got me so worked up I couldn't even type." Now that Apple has shipped faster PowerMacs, DeLucci feels his online outburst casts him in a negative light and blames Apple for making him look particularly foolish in hindsight.
"By coming out with these Macs now, Apple makes me look like a total whiner," DeLucci says. "I was right at the time and I'd still be right if they hadn't just announced new PowerMacs."
To express his displeasure with the company, DeLucci posted a missive on the MacNN forum entitled "F***ing Apple Motherf***ers."

There's a receptionist and actually whole MRI medical office in Fishers, Indiana on Lantern road
where the receptionist had (still?) an iMac. The MRI machine was also operated via Mac, too. I think.
I have one on order and it is killing me waiting for it, especially seeing that G3 tower and screwdriver, (why does Apple use that as the machine icon and, is that is what Apple will send me?) however, I wanted to get another 512 for it but, I am unsure as to what varity.
Thanks.

BTW, System 7 flies! I was using that mofo on our old skool Macintosh IIci.

KidRed, run some more benchmarks dogg!
