And what do we get "right now" is what matters (as I remember this was the argument for going for the payment scheme for these 2D drivers, too. To get them out "right now" instead of waiting). I can run Linux on some 6 core i7 box. Who cares about linux...Lets see maybe some parts for my PowerBook G4 15"?http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple_laptop/batteries/PowerBook_G4_15_ALhttp://www.powerbookmedic.com/Powerbook-G4-Aluminum-Service-Parts---15-Models----Replacement-Parts-For-Repair-p-1-c-408.htmlhttp://www.apfelklinik.de/catalog/index.php/cPath/49_51http://www.ifixit.com/Mac-Parts/PowerBook-G4-Aluminum-15%22No we won't go for such insane HW, sorry. Insanely expensive, not providing significantly better performance and a dead end product (PA6T is dead and X1000 is likely already in the process of being replaced with something else). Thanks, but no thanks, I can think dozens of better ways to spend our resources than wasting it on this dead corpse of a computer.There are gazillion of repair companies still offering repairs for PPC macs. There are some many of these machines still in circulation that the support is excellent considering the age of the HW.Try getting support for X1000 after 7 years.$99 for a new battery with 1 year guarantee doesn't quite equate to "$200 rip off" in my books.On the other hand look at the prices of the phase5 hardware for instance. They go higher than original price these days. Custom HW just doesn't make any sense.-o--o--o--o-This is my last OT message regarding this particular topic in this thread. You can PM me vox if you wish to discuss this further.
@voxThere are obviously lots of things you simply don't understand (or don't *want* to understand), and you are also outright wrong in many of your statements above. But I won't be part of taking this thread further off topic. It doesn't matter anyway. You will see yourself, in due course. It's inevitable.
