Hey, I've always wondered--how well does VirtualPC run on G4's? I have the exact same PowerBook as you, so I've always been curious.

Nice! The PowerBook is still a sweet machine even so many years later.

Obviously VirtualPC isn't nearly as useful as Parallels or Bootcamp, but it lets me see how a website looks in IE, and in the old days, I could stream Netflix (they've since upgraded to Silverlight2, which isn't compatible with VPC).
It's a bit tougher to install on Leopard, because they haven't updated it, but it's still fast enough to do small things like Pinball and Solitaire, and importantly, open documents in windows software to test compatibility (OmniPlan to Project for instance).

While Vista is too bloated to run on VPC, I still liked how it looks, so I theme'd my XP Pro with a Vista kit.
 
Here's my one, will probably use it for a few weeks.

How do you get the Time, Date etc. onto the Wallpaper? I Guess it changes, so must be an App....

Edit: Just looked through and DL'ing Geektool now.

link please?

There is a link in my Thread in the Picture Gallery

Spent some time fiddling with Geektool, making sure that they never overlapped, or left big gaps, and thats what i came up with.

I have another 60GB unpartitioned space which I'm planning to throw Windows XP in just for the kicks (maybe Vista) but I might just end expanding the current Mac partition. I will remind you, I'm using a "Hackintosh" and I'm posting this as I read somewhere you guys have a Hackintosh forum around here. So, running OS X 10.5.6 on an Aspire One (hence the 1024x600 resolution). I'm still looking forward getting a "fitting" HDD icon for the current background I'm using so suggestions are very well welcomed!
