That reminds me, I need another graphic card. Too many monitors in my garage lying around doing nothing!!!
I can send you a natively supported NVIDIA NVS 510 with four outputs. Would that be enough?
Ahhhh, I don't know. I was looking to triple my output, so, something like 18-20 screens I think.I can send you a natively supported NVIDIA NVS 510 with four outputs. Would that be enough?
Honest question: Can macOS deal with that many screens?Ahhhh, I don't know. I was looking to triple my output, so, something like 18-20 screens I think.

Uh, just wow. No idea.
All I wanted in 2014 was to have double what I had at work. I got that, even if I had to use multiple cards to do it. In all seriousness six is more than plenty. I'm using a top of the line (for the time) ACD as a screen for Finder windows and drives for godssake!
How about a PowerPC research journal too, haha.
Publish 2-3 PPC tinkering “discoveries” per month, as though they were scientific breakthroughs.
“FireWire 800 in Mac OS 9: some new opportunities”
“Soldering the Impossible: a history of G3 Clamshell graphics upgrade attempts”
“Resisting the Globalists: an anthropology of vintage computing subversion from a hobbyist forum”

And I used to use a $2500* (in 2014) Dell UP2715K as my tertiary monitor for similar stuff.I'm using a top of the line (for the time) ACD as a screen for Finder windows and drives for godssake!
*I only paid like $500 for it in 2021.

That made me remember a former client. With an ungodly huge wrap around desk. With over twenty monitors. Connected to multiple computers.Ahhhh, I don't know. I was looking to triple my output, so, something like 18-20 screens I think.
They were used for stock trading.
I want to be able to see my screens from orbit.
The past few days have been difficult and this has brought a very welcome smile to my face.
Thank you.
Makes me very happy to see. There was something very positive about this translucent, colorful and rounded design. Was so fun to move with the handles and my main machines for more than 15 years. Good times.
Stock trading is a prime example of the more you're able to see at once, the better (for whom?).

Missed opportunity to photoshop it and make the people 10% of that size
Hahaha what happened to Macbookprodude? Kinda miss his rants...
@Dronecatcher this would have been perfect for april fools. Right now i have my wife convinced i made the cover of a UK based macintosh magazine. I'm having a blast riding this out. Thanks! Lol.
This particular suspension certainly has been lengthy. I'll stop there, lest the moderators misinterpret this as mockery of someone who does not have the opportunity to respond.
The attention to detail by @Dronecatcher definitely helps. He even included a barcode and an accurate UK price tag.
Brilliant! I should've gone the whole hog and superimposed it onto a newsagent's magazine rack
This was a 'quick & dirty' Photoshop job - I could have fired up InDesign/Barcode Producer and made a real scannable one
Could we get an article about the G3 was better than the G4? ?
Just kidding.
However, case in point, my 1999 iMac G3 DV edition did kick my parents 2004 eMac USB 2.0 model in the midsection pretty hard when I maxed the RAM to 1 GB. Even my Dad felt silly for giving me a new computer basically. IBM was always superior to Motorola’s chips, don’t know why Apple just couldn’t get it to work with their PowerPC sets. The G3 and G5 were shining stars in the PowerPC world (to me, at least).

Compare transcoding video on a G3 to a G4 and get back to me

Or video playback itself for that matter...
(Although the souped up G3's in my Wii and Wii-U don't fare too badly.)
