I found out what the problem was with mine. For some odd reason Panther did not like my Airport base station, though Jaguar had no problem. All I did was upload the latest version of the Airport base...

I do feel it necessary to point out that IBM specifically stated that the new chip was for desktop and low end server machines NOT game systems. Apple does produce desktop and low end server...

I remember way back in the early pc days when the processors were just 16 bit processors. I don't think the processors went 32 bits until the 80386. At any rate, whenever it did go to 32 bits I seem...

About the only thing that I'm really tired of is hearing about are these phantom processors from motorola, like the G5 or 7470, that we never see in a machine. If motorola could deliver what it...
