    After reassembling a 2017 21.5" retina iMac (the one where there is a single mic at the bottom of the display, as opposed to previous generations which had 2 mics near the iSight at the top), and being careful that the adhesive strips on the bottom don't block the mic, I noticed the microphone...

    iMac G4: How did people optimize it for making music? (MIDI rec latency issue)

    I'd like to occasionally use my G4 for musical drafting. I put an SSD into the iMac recently, but haven't updated the RAM from the 1GB it has now. I probably will eventually, but somehow it feels like it's not the culprit, or that it's not the only culprit to the issue. The issue is that even...

    Buying an OS X Leopard DVD

    I recently discovered MacRumors has a pretty active PowerPC community. My first Mac was a 2005 iMac G5 and I’ve held onto it all these years.
