Evening all,
I was messing around with logic on my MBP today, and my son (6, nearly 7) was well into it, and soon took over playing around and adding in instruments/loops/effects and loving it.
In his room we have an old iMac G3, with a whopping 400MhZ processor and 512MB of RAM. Anyone got any recommendations for something similar that'll run on his machine? I know it's lacking the horsepower for a lot of the fancier effects, but once upon a time a 400Mhz G3 was cutting edge!
The iMac is running 10.4, and classic, but I have the OS9 CD if running that natively will open up more options. I think I read somewhere that it was possible to trick garageband 1 into running, but not that quickly. I could rig up an external firewire drive if that's likely to make things any more useable.
Cheers for any input.
Mike

You will only get 1,100 PPD at best on that machine... That is with the SMP bonus!

You should try over at the 68k MLA (http://http://68kmla.org/forums), there are a few Brits in there, often mentioning sales that are going on.

Air video is by far my more favourite app, especially since the airplay inclusion. No more converting, and can stream stuff, using my ipad as a sort of remote, whatever is on my hard drive, or itunes library. Love it.

At the moment, everything I have is stored on a 2TB drive which is backed up every night, sometimes twice a day.
There will be one numbered and named project folder corresponding to its details on a spreadsheet, all of the following go into this one folder:
Emails, quotes, invoices, print specs etc all get saved into a Correspondence folder. Pencil scamps get scanned at 600ppi and saved as greyscale high quality JPGs. Intermediate InDesign or Quark files get tossed, except for any Illustrator or Photoshop files that I can perhaps reuse layers from later... and they go into a Working files folder.
Signoff PDF proofs get stashed in the Proofs folder. Final output files get collected or packaged into separate folders with linked images and fonts. Press PDFs go into a Press PDF folder.
Once all collated, the job folder is compressed into a disk image with its number and project name, dumped into the Design Archive and indexed using CD Finder so I can quickly retrieve any file just by keyword or file name.
Hard copies (usually three of each) go into boxes and stored horizontally in the closet. Every year or so, I weed these out, keeping only the best stuff that might end up in the back of a print portfolio at some point... I have to be strict with myself because a lot of the stuff I've done in the past are publications, sometimes with hundreds of pages. They get really heavy and take up a lot of space.
Also, any decent hard copies (one in eight, say) get photographed with a DSLR from a number of angles, spreads and covers, against a white background for possible inclusion into portfolio.

General price on eBay seems to be around �225 for a pristine one, although if selling on here, I'd expect a little less.

Hi
Thankyou so much for that will try that when school goes back and will let you know how it goes, just wanted to check so this will open a webpage not in the animation but in the html site(below the animation, animation at top of page)?
Thanks again :)

Ahh I see. So the minimum size that any file in OS X can be is 4 KiB (4*2^10 bytes) regardless of how little data it contains?
That's right.

I think it was Final Cut user group...Anyway, Apple was supposed to have some 'special announcement' for that user group. People were speculating it would either be new Mac Pro's (obviously they did that before Mac World) and after the Mac Pro announcement they were speculating new Apple displays. Obviously that didn't happen - so what WAS the special announcement?

Hello,
just want to mess around with some stuff and i was wondering which is likely to give best results and value for money. Dont really want to spend alot as at the moment its really just for fun. Having said this i am doing a graphics degree so it could come in handy.
I have access to a hi8 sony camcorder at pressent and am swayed towards getting the adaptor as then i can import any video signal and if im looking to burn onto dvd i cant push above 640x480 on most anyhow. Although as i have little experiance in this area can someone please offer some advice.
was looking at the ADS Pyro AV Link - api 550...
cheers

I currently working on "Web Builder" web application. I'm developing it using Coldfusion MX. I've completed its basic core (Account Creation/Manegement, Choosing a design, Controlling the design colours, Managing the site's sections and pages, and other minor functionality) The basic UI is complete too (although I'm planning to completely change it).
Also in the works is a hardware review site called IonicLabs.com I've finished most of it, written in ASP, the design isn't quite ready though.

Hey guys I was wondering what I should do with my money from my Birthday. I narrowed it down to two things I really want. I could get the iPod Photo or I could get this lcd (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=1119192&sku=N52-1710) and an iPod mini. What would you suggest? :D
I would not recommend that LCD, it doesn't have a digital input interface like DVI. Cheaper LCDs use the standard RGB analog input, there is a huge difference in quality. All apple LCD displays are digital whether they are ADC or DVI.

Ha! i remeber oregon trail! we had that school.
when people in your party died, kids would always have the gravestones read something like "Billy SUcks", so when another kid passed by that grave in game, they would see it
also, i had one instructor who had wolfenstein on his computer and let me play it when i finished my work in class

I'm a big Blu-ray fan, but I think you answered your own question. You don't think you'll use it for BDs, so don't spend (waste?) the extra money. DVD�RW drives are so cheap nowadays, it's not the biggest decision in the world anyway is it? If you decide in the future that you do want BD reading or writing capability, they will be cheaper by then, so it's a win-win.
(I didn't wait, I love Blu-ray).

This to me sounds like a battery problem. How old or new is the iPod? I have an iPod Classic 160 from 2006 and works and syncs fine but my older classics are starting to act up and are becoming really, really slow probably most likely from the software updates etc. That's my guess.

Only half of my rigs have the problem, don't know why... Maybe it is unit specific.
Excellent answer I hadn't thought of that. That's probably exactly the problem. They are probably issuing a new unit that requires the updated client. This unit is probably only issued to specific CPUs and also based on time to complete.
