Well what sucks is I have a 2 year old and I moved all my computer stuff upstairs because well... he likes to destroy everything in HIS living room... :)

I didn't feel like running network cables upstairs so I just use wifi but the router and stuff is downstairs.

Maybe its time to run some network cables, but thats just going to be a big PITA.


I recommend a wireless bridge - extremely handy. Plug wired device into bridge, the bridge wirelessly connects to router, and that's it! They're a little pricey, but I found it to be an extremely worthwhile investment.

You should make sure you have the preference set for Youtube to use HTML5 instead of Flash. Do so here: http://www.youtube.com/html5

Also note that Youtube is constantly messing around with their database design, so also make sure the support scripts are up to date (they were just updated, so what you have in your stock install may be obsolete).

You might also need Fab's port of MPlayer installed. Not sure about this one.

@ AmigaBruno

OS4 won't work. Moana is hard-coded to require PowerMac10,2 hardware, which corresponds to the Mac Mini G4 "silent update" (1.33GHz and 1.5GHz machines only). Besides, it's an old, buggy, beta version of OS4. The kernel and drivers are incomplete, barely work and will never be updated. If you want to try it on your Quicksilver, I suggest not spending more time on it other than to see "Well, that didn't work" after the initial boot attempt.

EDIT: And to actually talk about some things your Quicksilver *can* do: I would suggest triple-booting MorphOS, OSX 10.4, and OSX 10.5 (10.6 requires x86).

10.4 is the last version of OSX to support "classic" emulation, meaning you can run programs requiring MacOS 9 and lower - opens up a big back catalog of software.

10.5 runs some newer stuff. Most of the recent programs that still support PPC require 10.5

And MorphOS is to fulfill your Amiga needs :)

You may like this AmigaOS 3.x skin if you're finding MorphOS's visuals not to your liking. I use this one and am quite fond of it!
