<0> Coma: and you're on osX ?
<1> Coma: but that's really really od
<1> er, odd
<2> whitecap: My laptop is, yeah
<1> Coma: which is what you're on now?
<2> I almost always am
<1> Coma: hrm, and what does colleague suspect?
<2> He blames the new PDC
<3> http://www.woot.com/ <= \/\/00t! hahaha
<4> anything good?
<5> hahaha
<1> Coma: Well hey, I'm reconsidering OS X
<1> Coma: which are you on again? G4 PowerBook?
<1> Coma: or a MacBOok Pro?
<2> Nanuq: Nope, still a g4
<1> Coma: more RAM in my mini and it should be half decent
<1> Coma: bring 'er up to a gig
<2> Did you test the psy yet?
<2> err, psu
<4> Nanuq: allegedly ditching the laptop drive in lieu of a firewire/usb drive will boost performance even more.
<1> Coma: nope
<1> D-side: yeah, because I don't need mega CPU
<1> D-side: but RAM.. yeah, OS X ****s that up
<1> plus of course, since you cache everything, the HD is less a concern
<4> for a desktop machine i'm sure its more than adequate
<1> I could install NetBSD on it
<4> but the 4200rpm drive in there isnt helping any either i'm sure.
<1> that'd clear up the RAM concern
<4> oh god. you're one of *those*
<1> D-side: No, mine is 5400
<1> D-side: most of the 40Gs were 5400, the 80s 4200
<1> D-side: I'm one of what?
<2> Weren't there also minis that came with a 5400rpm disks?
<1> see above
<2> Ah
<4> one of those people who'll install !OSX on their macs.
<1> D-side: yes, when OS X won't cut it
<1> D-side: Like an OldWorld mac
<4> i'm talking about the new ones
<1> or even anything < G4
<4> otherwise of course you install something else.
<1> D-side: hey it should do binary emulation
<4> hell, i was going to stick linux on my gf's old 400mhz g3 imac
<1> that'd rock. NetBSD kernel with Aqua and friends
<4> that imac was going to be a mythtv frontend
<1> Coma: I can also overclock the CPU
<4> until i realized i had nowhere to put the thing, and no real REASON to do it other than "why not?"
<1> Coma: should do 1.42 no probvlem, even 1.5
<1> Coma: but for now, getting it working would be good :)
<1> Ka-bar: that's cool, btw
<2> Nanuq: Maybe the cpu can handle it fine, but can it dissipate the extra heat?
<1> Coma: sure, since the 1.42 model uses the same design
<4> Ka-bar: what, is that a decent watch?
<1> Ka-bar: novel concept
<6> D-side i have a problem with finding things to do with obsolete machines. and i cry when i see piles of probably fuctioning computers at the landfill
<1> Ka-bar: you sell exactly one different item per day
<4> Comet-: thats just silly.
<4> :)
<6> :`(
<3> D-side: no idea if it's a decent watch or not... but the commentary is hilarious
<4> woot can be good like that.
<3> Nanuq: Yeah, woot sells on item a day.
<3> one
<3> sometimes more when they have a "woot off", but generally just one item a day, until it's gone.
<3> I bought my Roomba from woot.
<4> Ka-bar: i was gonna ask.
<4> i still havent done the "bag of crap"
<4> occasionally they'll put some semi-decent **** in there.
<4> not bad for a throwaway $20
<4> bbl
<3> I haven't gotten a Bag o' Crap yet. Last time it sold out before I got to it. But one of my cow-orkers got some decent stuff in one once.
<1> ahhh.. hehe
<1> http://clabedan.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/bmw_isetta.jpg
<3> definitely worth more than $20
<3> Nanuq: wtf?
<3> is that a three-wheeler?
<7> Ka-bar: it's cl***ic!
<7> a real BMW
<7> the BMW Isetta is a vintage car now :)
<3> Hmmm.... the three-wheeler was built in the UK, licensed from BMW.
<8> bmw isettas rule
<8> I used to own two of 'em.
<3> really? nifty.
<8> they sat in my garage.
<3> according to what I read, they used BMW motorcycle engines.
<7> siglite: really? where are you from? (If I can ask?)
<9> http://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=COM10720
<1> Coma: wow, so the mini is really a peecee in disguise
<1> Coma: intel north and southbridge and all
<1> at least RAM won't be as hard to come by. you're not 100% sure on apple's ppc boxen
<1> er, you're never
<1> **** me those are some specs
<1> http://www.protunes.org/Mac%20Mini%20Specs.jpg
<4> wow.
<4> so i have to go to this customer's place, a day spa
<4> a manager asked me what i was doing there, and without thinking i yell out "i have to go get my knob waxed"

<10> 54?
<10> i thought he was 65 or something
<2> Young at heart, eh?
<10> Coma: no, you know the saying you start as a kid, grow up to be a man and after 55 your mind goes back to a kid's :)
<2> So um, at what age are you supposed to be a man then?
<10> nfi, im not freud :)
<9> No, he's a duck
