Posted from my new computer: A PowerPC MAC OS X 10.4

I thought I posted this reference here before. The article is too long to include here so it can be found at

First paragraph:

I am using a new (to me) computer that just arrived yesterday, a Macintosh OS X 10.4 PowerPC. I am posting this message from that Mac. Now, some might say it's obsolete because Apple stopped supporting it back in 2009. But, as I see it, for not a lot of money I get the opportunity to get my feet wet doing some things on a Mac and discover if I should go further.

Check if the CPU on the thing supports 10.5 (that was the last version with PPC support.)

Yeah, but anyone who has it is gouging; I went on eBay and anyone who has it wants upwards of $45 for the upgrade dsc. (Note, that's Apple's phrasing. An 'update' is free, it's a patch or other enhancement. An 'upgrade' is a raise in release level and you don't get it free.)

And would you believe I've been testing doing flippling from one machine to another and lost a message I was typing on the Mac because I rebooted it. It was probably similar to this message, and mainly that I wanted to get Apache and VNC working on it.

Hey fella, I think this one sentence is finally evidence of proof that God exists. He saved us from more of your useless blather. Can I get an AMEN people? AMEN! Thank you, Jesus!
