    TenFourFox FPR1 is Here!

    Was reading through viva PowerPC's "world" page (which combines a bunch of PPC news sites into one feed) and I found out that TenFourFox FPR (Feature Parity Release) 1 is here and available for download! So, following my "TenFourFox 45 is Here" thread, here's a discussion thread on it. Is it...

    iMac G3 Repair

    Hey guys! I would like to start out with this post by acknowledging that the iMac G3 is in fact very old. I do not plan to use this as my main system by any means as I have a very capable computer for that. When I was younger however, I used to use this machine so there is a huge amount of...

    Removing Magic Eraser scratches on iMac G3

    Hey everyone, I bought an iMac G3 Indigo 500 MHz from Summer 2001. It was pretty dirty, had sticker residue and paint everywhere on it, and the mouse was encrusted with dirt. I mean, that thing was dirty. So, I decided to clean the whole darn thing up with some Goo Gone, Mr. Clean spray and...

    PowerMac TimeMachine Server

    Hi all, Just wondered if anyone could help me. About 6 months ago we dug an old PowerMac G5 out and started using it as a TimeMachine Backup Server. Basically it has a 2TB drive in there shared on the network and we have 9 Mac (7 imacs & 3 Macbook) backup up to it, with encryption. However, we...

    I Remade Some Old Apple Posters!

    I wanted to hang a vintage Apple poster in my room and i didn't wanna pay for the originals. So i came to the idea to simply print them out and stick them around my room, but all of the images of the posters online were either crappy ebay pictures or VERY low res...I got to work and recreated 8...

    PPC and Leopard as Daily Driver

    Hello everybody, I am new to this forum, and I was suprised to see an active PPC community. But I am wondering, do people here still use PowerMac G3s, G4s and G5s as a daily driver for tasks like webbrowsing/YouTube? How does that still work on a machine like a PowerMac G3 and an older OS like...

    PowerPC Modern Games Pack (2017)

    An unique set of actively developed open source games ported to PowerPC Macs running Leopard (with some minor [untested] support for Tiger). These only had binary Intel builds, so after some heavy treatment, they fit right at home. Xonotic - 0.8.2 http://www.xonotic.org/ An arena...

    Bought an iBook for $7. Now what?

    I was at a yard sale this morning. Much to my surprise, a teenage girl was selling a 2005, 12 inch iBook G4 1.33. She assured me that though she didn’t have the charger, it worked. Skeptical, I asked how much? $7. No freaking way. $7, working or not, is an unbelievable deal on an iBook G4...

    iBook G4 won't latch correctly

    When I close my iBook, most times it won't latch, and I have to push the display to the left for it to catch. The screen is very out of alignment with the body and I think that this is probably why it won't latch like it should. Short of replacing the hinges, are there any possible fixes for this?

    Post Your Modded About This Mac! (PowerPC)

    I know a few of us have modified our About This Mac screens because it's SO EASY on PowerPC. Leopard leaves the .nib unencrypted, so we can edit with ease. I figured it would be fun if we could collect the modded ATMs all in one place. Then people can choose different ones to use. If you've...

    This Forum on Classilla

    I saw in another thread that this forum could be used with Classilla. Tried on my Clamshell (with Panther) and got an error about the encryption. I'm going directly to forums.macrumors.com as @bunnspecial said in that other thread. Any ideas? Thanks, Henry

    Post your Theme! (PowerPC)

    With all the great themes out, I'm sure at least half of us are using one. Some may be using a combination. I thought that this may be a fun opportunity for us to share what theme(s) we're using. A few screenshots will do. :) I'll start. On my G5, I'm using iLeopard and iOX. iLeopard tones down...

    Alternative USB 1.1 keyboards for G4, or repairing?

    The point, briefly: I got a 17" 1GHz iMac G4. I got that computer for writing, so having a usable keyboard is a necessity. I'm weighing my options – buying a used keyboard for a replacement isn't just gross as you'll have to do the cleaning work, but also, it's a hit and miss if some keys...

    iLeopard Theme

    Was reading through some stuff today, and I stumbled across a theme called iLeopard. I installed it, and thought it was really cool! Since I've never seen it mentioned on here, I figured I'd share it. This theme basically makes the whole system appearance just like iTunes 7 or 8, with the...
