  • MacOS X on iBook 2001 is slow indeed, I have to admit it, especially when it come to scrolling pages in Acrobat Reader. Maybe Adobe will make this carbon application faster in the next update. Otherwise, the performance is acceptable, it is a G3 ma…

  • it worth the bucks, and connect Soundsticks to MacOS X running Mac, use iTune 2.0.4. the sound quality is excellent!

  • hi, I have a PowerMac G4 Cube and I've been using this for 16 months or so. I suggestion is that buying a mini-tower PowerMac G4/550 might be the better choice, since the parts of Cube are extremely expensive, for example, my cube DVD-ROM is dead no…
