    Any Linux with VirtualPC7/Leopard ?

    This idea drives me nuts! - To run a slick Linux-Distro within VirtualPC7 which is also able to run a Dropbox-Client or even Netflix. I did not succeed with AntiX and Debian7 'cause the damn Cursor didn't work within the VM. Read about someone getting Mandrake10 to run within VirtualPC7 but...

    Updated Info I've decided to go with @QSDP-User's suggestion, and I will be changing things up a little bit. The OS will have the welcome screen bypassed and updates installed. There will be a Setup app that allows you to set up your speed tweaks. For software, use Software to Get You Started...

    TaskPaper - Outline/Todo-Sync between PPC/intel-Macs and iOS

    I've searching for a long time for a simple non-distracting Outliner for use on my PowerBook, MacBook and iPhone. During the last days I rediscovered "Taskpaper" and it's qualities of being a text only solution, with files, that will even survive a sudden death of it's applications (which will...

    Resolved Nocturnal distraction-free writing in Tiger?

    I've just joined the club, as I managed to track down a neat 17" iMac G4. I wanted to mostly have it as a writing platform for late nights. On my main computer, I've used OmmWriter and FocusWriter because of these very important points: Distraction free: Full screen; None or barely any...

    Hey, guys. I recently found a great deal on an iMac G5. However, it comes without a hard drive, and the seller doesn't have the original OS disc. I've got plenty of HDDs lying around to get storage on it, but no system discs compatible with the machine, so I was wondering if any of you know a...

    Cyberduck for Cloud-Access

    Recently I found out, that the latest Cyberduck-App for Intel-Macs supports two-way autentification for Dropbox, Googledrive and others. I've mailed the developers, if the PowerPC version of Cyberduck could get this feature too (currently there's only/at least webDAV-support). He answered, that...

    Any Reason to Use TFF Over WebKit?

    OK, this isn't really a problem, kinda just asking for opinions. I noticed that in my web browser poll, the top browser was TenFourFox. For me, at least, LWK is much faster. So, how come so many of you use TFF over WebKit? @eyoungren told me it was because TFF was more customizable. I'm curious...

Has anyone had any success (or failures) attempting to do this. When I turn on my PowerMac I don't get the 3 flashing lights.
