Maybe it marks me as getting old, but it feels really weird to call a G4 tower a "fossil". I'm just sayin'.
And as far as "computing on the cheap" goes, I'm pretty happy with picking up a G4/500 with half a gig of RAM, a Combo Drive, and a Zip drive for just under $75, shipping included...
I've been using a Ti powerbook G4 at work for years with no issues.
ReplyDeleteWell, one issue... the coating on the titanium chips off the wristwrest area.
Hey Tam,
ReplyDeleteI read your other blogs, and just saw this one. How easy(and cheap) is it to convert from Win to Mac? I currently use XP on a box cobbled together from hand me down parts from friends who have money for "upgrades" .
I've been thinking about experimenting with Macs, something portable/laptopish, but don't want to invest a lot of money for something I may not go any further with.
Any recommendations(and expected prices) for something that would help give me a feel for Macs without breaking the bank? I have no problem with used or refurbished equipment.
To be honest I haven't really looked yet, seeing this blog of yours has just triggered a response to an idea I've been kicking around for a year or more....
Thanks, and love all the blogs...

That's a good question!
ReplyDeleteSee next post. (And thanks for the post idea!)
