New Old Computer to Arrive Soon
« on: July 19, 2007, 10:00:27 pm »
Theres been this Mac vs. Pc debacle raging on for years.  I've had mixed opinions about it. This led me not to make the switch to apple. But recently I said "screw it".  However, I diddnt want to instantaneously buy a top of the line Mac pro and fork out $12k I thought I would start out very cheap and basic and move my way up to the Mac pro.  So I ended up purchasing a PowerMac g4 from ebay for under $100.

The Specs are.

400mhz G4 processor
512mb ram
80g hard drive
Zip Drive
18x DVD RW Burner
Mac OSX 10.4.10 (all updates done as of 7/5/07) 



And heres all the software crap that remains on the Hard Drive

There is no such thing as peace and there never will be. Peace is a delusion believed by the weak. Gandhi said : "An eye of an eye would leave the whole world blind". So be it because only a blind world can experience the peace that it deserves. But there in lay the sick irony. Who will be able to see this peace? The human species is at war. The enemy walks among us nearly invisible. Only those with true discernment can see them. But only one with discernment and vision can show them to others
