You didn't fancy a CoreDuo one then? :-D

Nah, MorphOS isn't ported to x86 yet :-)

Nice screenshot, I have a thing för thät strängë döttëd längüägë :lol:


I wasn't sure if Morphos ran on the Mac... hmmm... really I though it was a shame that Piru didn't get a dual core machine. All machines really should be dual core. My old Powerbook G4 (1.5Ghz) pretty much freezes up when you run an HD movie or something else similar... But a 1.5Mhz CoreDuo runs beautifully. I'm surprised Piru didn't fancy hacking around with SMP etc actually...

I've grown to love the Umlaut... though I still can't hear or pronounce ü which is very frustrating...

Have you tried this?:

I have quite a few examples, but this is great, many thanks! It's just a vowel sound I can't hear I guess... I know when I need to use one or when one appears in a a word, but only because I know how to spell the word... if I hear a new word that uses it... I just can't hear it, and substitute another letter. I suspect my pronunciation of ü (-Edit- Which is somewhere between u and er) makes me sound very English :-D

Isn't the 1.5GHz G4 MacMini's 64Mbyte Radeon 9200 a better gfx card than the Intel GMA 950 in the latest models?


The GMA 950 has a better performance, higher throughput etc... but lacks T&L etc... hardware... swings and roundabouts I think :-)
