Inside G4 Quicksilver

The Powermac is a G4 Dual 500 Mystic running OS 10.4.9. I have installed an extra 40 gb hard drive so I have two HD's inside. ...

I posted something like this a few weeks back, and after exploring my mac a little more and using some of the responses that I got, here is the revised edition. I would appreciate any feedback. BTW, sorry it’s so long. I really would appreciate 5 minutes of your time to read this and give me some feedback. Who knows, maybe it will get back to Apple and we will some revisions....

Apple has the underlying technology to make a tablet built into OS X with Ink, it's there it is waiting to be used. If they were to do a tablet right, make it an Option for the Powerbooks a 200 to 300 dollar option.

It's a Power Mac G4 867 (Quicksilver) with 896 megs of RAM and 2 60-gig drives inside. Perfect condition. I also have my 17" LCD Studio Display, but I think I'd want to keep it for...

I have no idea on price, probably similar to the current Quicksilver line. ...

sometimes I would get a blank screen and there would be a beeping noise coming from inside my computer. It happened to me only after I tried defragging my hard drive using Norton SystemWorks. Did you happen to do that? ...

Sure, only because it is unresponsive on YOUR system, it's shit. I mean, it works flawlessly on my Quicksilver, as it does on my Cube, as it does on my MP 450 G4 at work, on the Powerbook G4 of my boss, on the Powerbook G3 of a friend of mine, on the iMac at work....I NEVER heard such problem. ...
