My Powermac G4 Is Here!
The Powermac G4 I talked about in the last podcast has arrived and, after a quick reformat of the hard drive and reinstallation of OS X, it's working great. I"ve got an ethernet link between the Powermac and my iBook, so I can transfer any files or apps I need and share my iBook's wireless internet connection (the G4 doesn't have an AirPort card). As far as the specs go:
Processor: 450 MHz PowerPC G4
Memory: 384 MB
Hard Drive: 60 GB
Graphics: 16 MB Rage
Ports: USB (2), FireWire (2), Ethernet, Mic Line In, Audio Out, Monitor Out, Serial
As you can see, not an extremely impressive machine, but much faster than my iBook, and it was free so I'm not complaining. The G4 processor makes all the difference. It'll be a nice computer to last me while I'm waiting for the Powerbook G5s to come out.
