If the PowerBook g4 can't do those things, then yeah, it's not in good shape. Mine would do that easily, it's actually still a very useable machine.

However, which os is it running? Leopard is up to 20% slower on single core machines than tiger amd uses more ram, a major blow to performance.

[Dr. Kraus]

Its running Tiger but is lacking a TON of ram (it has 512MB)...

[Krizonar]

Yeah, 512 MB doesn't do much in this day and time. A 1 ghz PPC G4 is about equivalent to a 3 ghz pentium IV, which is still not fast enough to do much now.

They could upgrade the ram, but if they have enough money for a new one, I'm surprised they haven't already bought it, a G4 is very old, especially to be a 1 ghz model. I'd estimate that's an 8 year old computer right there, at youngest.

[Red-Machine]

I had a 350MHz G3 iMac with 512MB RAM and that coped rather well.  Must be something iffy with the OS or hardware.  Try putting in a new hard drive if you can and installing a fresh copy of Tiger and see if that helps none.  Or just use the customer's drive if they don't mind it being formatted.

[Dr. Kraus]

Its a 9 year old computer, the OS is actually OSX 10.5.7 "Leopard", and its filled with junk (10.4 GB out of its 55 which isn't that bad I guess). Turns out that they are just going to buying a new one and I'll get this one (according to my dad) so I'm going to search around from some RAM and get this puppy up to 1GB at least (I don't know if it will support 1GB RAM though so I would be grateful if you could tell me because searching the specs haven't taught me a thing.)

Update: RAM is going for $55 and its a 512MB stick so I might snag one or two depending how many slots are filled right now.

[Krizonar]

Ah, yes, Leopard is definitely slowing it down, probably doing much more harm than good.

Also, it definitely does, sir
buy ram for it at this link.

It supports 2 gigabytes, actually.

You will need it on Sunday.

SVEA RIKES TRE KRONOR
against whatever your PUNY LITTLE EX-COLONY call your team of stick-wagglers. >:3

[Pitkin]

Umm... I'm not used to replying to things like that, Nejin. ._.;

"Go Finland! Woo!" x)

But the goal was awesome, like I mentioned in Skype, was hard to believe my eyes! I was worried still 3 minutes before the end, but ultimately it was alright~ And of course, Sweden vs. Finland is the best the international ice-hockey can get! <3

Jesus Christ, I sure hope the kid who uses this laptop is over 15 years old or something... This laptop is riddled with...stuff that you find in the adult section... I'm sure his father would love to see what his son has been doing with his spare time... god some of this was just disgusting! This kid needs to learn to hide this stuff properly or delete it at least, its all over the place and Its dated for the past three years...

1. Leave laptop and all files alone and intact.
2. Call up the past owner and tell him you'll show his father the files if he doesn't fork over some major cash.
3. ? ? ? ?
4. PROFIT.

Lol, in all seriousness though, I've always been concerned about finding something like that on the the old computers I adopt... thank god they usually come with all personal filed deleted and are usually old enough to have come from a time when there was little to no pr0nz on The Internets. =____='

[NejinOniwa]

Just wipe it then, d00d.


In other news, an interesting note reached me today that seems relevant after yesterday's hockey frenzy.
Yesterday, my father advised Peter Forsberg that, if he wanted to be let alone by annoying people bugging him all the time, he could buy a Burqa. This apparently resulted in a hearty laugh from the ex-NHL superstar.

you'd think he'd back those up somewhere before selling the pc D:

Sounds like when one of my relatives gave me a bunch of his old desktops a few years ago; there was one that had a fried motherboard, which I pulled the hard drive and put it in another one I had, since I wanted a 2nd hard drive in it...only to find he kept his pr0n stash on that drive. That day, I learned things about him that I never wanted to know...

i find all sorts of hentai in my brother's hdd.

i found some yaoi too at times

i don't think he actually checks what he downloads... and just keeps downloading and downloading and downloading and downloading

[Nichi]

If it had been more normal stuff, it wouldn't be quite as bad, but that relative apparently had some really creepy fetishes; thankfully, I had just enough brain bleach to forget exactly what they where.
