How exactly do you view youtube?  I know a program exists, but cli based?  give details on how to do this please.
Thanks!!

Some use separate programs like Tubexx, but I use GetVideo-script which can be integrated in the browsers. For example with IBrowse, you can select "Play video" or "Save video" on the youtube video page with right mouse button. Or over a link pointing to certain video etc.

MorphOS will support *all* G4 Mac Mini models. Best choice of course is the silent upgrade G4 1.5 GHz model, because it comes with 64MB VRAM. All other G4 Mac Minis offer only 32 MB VRAM.
Once MorphOS for the Mac Mini will have been released it will be available for download from www.morphos-team.net.
Currently you can dl MorphOS 2.2 for Pegasos 1 &2 and Efika, plus MorphOS 1.4.5 for Amiga accelerator boards BlizzardPPC and CyberstormPPC.

I did some shopping around and found out that the 1.5GHz Mac Mini comes with an Intel intergrated video chip. That wouldn't work, at least according to the MorphOS hardware requirements list, with MorphOS. Also, which version do I get for the Mac Mini? The Efika or Pegasus download.Thanks again.

You will need a Mac mini G4 (PowerPC based), there is no public release available yet. So there's nothing for you to download.

What you probably would want to look for, is the 1.5GHz "Mac Mini (Late 2005)" version, look in the table here:

Well, doh! :roll: The Mac Mini download obviously! :-P ;-) When it's released, of course... :-)

Just to confirm there was both a PPC and Intel 1.5 Mini.

Yeah, the "Mac Mini (Early 2006)" comes in 2 versions, the low end version has a 1.5Ghz Intel Core Solo CPU...

I guess one should include "G4" as a key word in searches... ;-)

Well, the point with auctions (eBay) is to drive up prices! :-)

I guess you could always look directly into the local Mac community. Forums, paper magazines, etc. Search for ads, or put in an "I want to buy a Mac G4 1.5GHz" ad yourself? I think the price will be more favorable then...
