For once I am saving
Keeping up on the latest hardware has been a state
of life for me for some time. Basically since my first - a Mac SE that went
with me on business trips.
Things
have slowed down now and I have gone from 5 machines at home to one for me and
one for Corry. My iBook seemed just fine for Webbing and Emailing and a bit of
writing.
Ah, the development bug has
struck again. I want to explore Eclipse and open source. The iBook does the
work but it really thinks about
everything.
And then, boom. A big G4
tower with lots of hard drive and RAM just appeared for a mere $500. For once I
am getting the deal rather than giving it to others.
It has Jaguar on it and dual boots to
OS-9. I think a brain wipe with a clean Panther install with just do fine. It
certainly will let the G4 scream.
I'll
let you know how Eclipse does on it.
