It has been great. I don't regret the move to VZW at all. In every way, it has been superior to ADSL through my phone carrier. Set up was a breeze - plugged it in, found the network and have been on since. I have had a two times where service did not stop but did slow down over the past 6 months...

Oh my, you are a human being. Crazy how that human condition flares up from time to time. :) The important measure is to learn from it and put steps/policy in place to be better tomorrow than we are today. it sounds like everyone has. I appreciate everything you and your team do for us.

Nice, I have a 15” with a broken hinge too. Thanks!

Make it live! Will it to life!!!

GIMP is a solid replacement for PS and OpenOffice is a very nicely polished alternative to word/office suite.

Remix was perfect out of the box for me as well on my pmg5. The issue I had was defunct repositories so it was hard to get apps. Still, even with the very old arctic fox it came with, the browser worked pretty well for most web and I was able to add other features like docky, neofetch and conky...

Aside from wifi, Debian 12.4 installed out of the box for me on my powermac g5. I also had issues with FF not working like Sean did but you can get dillo or SeaLion 32.5.1 or iirc Arcticfox 43.1 for web. I unwisely chose Mate which was kinda sluggish and don't really recommend it. Disabling...

I haven't had to do this myself but from what I read online from some old forum posts, there is a focus and brightness manual adjustment on the back left corner of the imac g3 tray loader. You'd need to take the back shell off but you'd see two adjusters there for the crt. If I can find the...

I do help my Mom and Dad (74 & 81) alot with their technology but I know my folks feel guilty about asking me to help with a busy family wife job kiddos etc, so my Dad tries to use customer services as much as possible to help navigate topics he needs help with. Inevitably, as folks get older it...

My parents are an interesting boomer specimen as my mom does not trust and will not use digital banking or investing services in any capacity. I mean with the slew of known information breaches, (over 2000 in 2023 with 235mil affected) how can you blame her. I think running a traditional book of...

I’ve been meaning to build a website for my collection and anything else I want to put in there. I figure I’ll eventually get around to it one of these days. I pretty much have the majority of my collection committed to memory as I try to keep it relatively tidy, in one room and my garage. Once...

Definitely good advice. If I sat on that, I’d squish the G5s poor little legs like an accordion without tight wood inserts.

Nice fix. I had the same issue albeit a smaller crack more along the top edge and I used epoxy to secure it. That was about 4 years ago. I was worried about it being off balance but the repair really didnt impact the balance of the fan at all. Its a noisy as any of my others LOL :)

My Blue & white has a zip in it, yeah it is a 100. I have a couple external zips. It would be fun to pop one of those open, stick the guts into my QS, run the usb to my internal usb2 port on my pci card and cobble together a power cable and run it off the psu. That would be a fun project.

I wish we had a freegeek in my neck of the woods but we dont so I am a habitual free-CL checker. I scooped a sad QS for $10 which was in parts a while back, put it back together and it booted right up. I also picked up two "take em or theyre going to recycling" imacg4s (a 15 and 17) which both...

Sweet, no rush finding them but I'll absolutely take them off your hands for you if they're taking up space. I'll need to scoop some drives off ebay first but saw a couple good multi unit buys.

Last time I checked about a month or so ago, shipping across the pond was gross so if I can find a domestic source that is the way I'll go. I was going to send a imac g3 slot loader ram cover to another TDer in the UK but heck the cheapest shipping (UPS, USPS, Fedex, DHL etc.) I could find for a...

I have not but I will. I am planning to install a zip250 in my quicksilver but I’ll need to buy a bezel (or maybe I could have one 3d printed?) and I’d like to stick one in my graphite as well but again I’ll need a bezel.

Love it :) Thank you for sharing!

I have not been able to. Install flashdrives & PPC are such a pita lol. That is why I ended up using a known good USB super drive to boot physical installation media. Definitely a cop out of sorts but I was tired and just needed to get it done lol. The drive I use when I need to install to a...
