Naw. I offered the living room space back because between her and me I've got 3/4 of the garage and this space while she doesn't have any space (except she commands the backyard now).
Thanks for the wishes of luck!
Ok, that's good that everything worked out
Yeah, this is more the idea. I have work I do for school that needs to be done on my school PC and work I do for other people that requires my MacBook. For all personal things that I can manage, however, I'm using my PPC Macs (so basically almost everythingEveryone, I think the idea is to go exclusively PPC with your own time.
Work time is different and you should continue to use the tools expected of you to achieve the goals needed.
For example, in my work we used Windows computers only, but if I were to sneak my own laptop in for down time it would be a PPC one for the purposes of this challenge.
So back at home or away from the workface I was able to use whatever machine I wanted.
I know I'm retired now but that's how it worked for me in the past

Awesome! I am working on processing a 20 minute video in QT7 as we speak!Yesterday my iMac G5 spent 10 hours processing a 77 minute DVD to mp4 using Handbrake
I just put the same DVD into a 2012 i7 MacBook Pro - Handbrake processed it to mp4 in 45 minutes.
However everything else accomplished by pure PPC power has been relatively easy; an optimised TFF working just fine, just a little slower.

Awesome! I figured that was the caseThe actual processing was done in the G5; I only did it again on the MBP for comparison's sake
I will carry this experiment on until next weekend, but don't expect any particular problems. After all, we only first got Intel into this house 10 years ago

No worries, it could be that way. Would you like to start now? I'm completely fine with whateverSorry, I thought with 6 people and no further takers we were up and running
Cheers
Hugh
No worries! This is my first time organizing something like this, so I appreciate the helpSorry again; I'm not trying to organise things - it's just that since I got the iMac G5 out of the loft and was already using the PowerBook G4 and Pismo occasionally, I thought I might as well throw myself in
My MacBooks were turned off yesterday, and the MacBook Pro is happily sleeping and only be woken up in an emergency. There's no browsing being done on the iPhone either.
Maybe the others could start when they're ready and chime in?

I take this as you're going to participate?Well, I could do that, in these past challenges I always tried to accomplish something on a PPC machine that I was doing on a Intel machine.
Currently my lockdown plans where to learn Assembler on my 8 bit Atari's and fiddle around with trying to make music on the 8bit 130XE and 16 bit Atari 1040STe but since I purchased a M-Audio Firewire Audiophile interface I could now link them to the G5.
I was trying to get Eclipse running a while ago on the iBook 14" in order to create an IDE for 8bit Assembler, will see if I can pick that back up.
I do have a DevOps course I have to start also for which I would need Intel stuff probably but will see ... I've learned from the past that with patience one can achieve his/her goals on a PPC machine also and most of the stuff is connecting to a cloud box which every *NIX machine is able to. (and ok Windows too
The G5 has already replaced my MBp connected to a 30" Cinema Display for watching movies/tv series so that's one tick on the checklist.
I should try LWK just to see how it is. I'm a TFF user but if LWK works for things that TFF doesn't, it would be nice to have in my arsenal.Well sadly like every challenge TFF lost ... LWK won again.
CPU usage is the same but LWK pages loads faster than TFF (after foxpep) and I was able to click my Gmail username, select other account and open in a new tab to open my 2nd Gmail inbox.
MP4 enabler on TFF FPR20 , Youtube 360p keeps spinning circles , LWK just have to let it buffer a bit and off we got to Youtube playback, audio but video isnt' there
Well on to try different browsers during this challenge, that's what it's all about
That's too bad. I'm sorry to hear about your G4s.More frustrating news - I just fired up another PowerBook (1.25GHz) which has a bad RAM slot.
After a KP it turns out it now has TWO bad RAM slots
And yes I have cleaned it and tried about 4 different sticks.
Pismo time I think, and that'll be a real challenge
Cheers

I'm dependend on SuperDuper or CCC that conjure the life saving backup or system-replication to another mac out of thin air ...Well I decided to restore my backup to the PB 1.67 overnight so it's hopefully playing nicely in the morning.
Let's hope
Cheers
Hugh
