No more...


handed over to a colleague...

Well I now no longer have my 550MHz G4 PowerBook having handed it over to my colleague. Of course I do have the replacement, a new 1.5GHz G4 PowerBook which is very nice.

The older Titanium model served itself well over the last three years and certainly worked it's little socks off. It was taken all across the country, from Devon to Scotland and quite a few times to London. The 20GB hard drive was full to bursting point and the number of applications I had was quite overwhelming at times (and unlike a lot of Windows machines in the three years I had it I never needed to format and re-install the OS.

In handing it over I wanted to give my colleague a blank canvas but not needing to re-install every application. I actually found this quite difficult to do.

In the end I erased the hard drive, installed Jaguar 10.2 and then upgraded to Panther 10.3, I then installed all the relevant updates (except a few I had had problems with).

It was quite sad really to hand the little machine over, it was my first Mac and certainly converted me to the Apple Mac OS.
