Star Bringing the Apple to the Masses - Revisited
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sun 12th Sep 2004 07:33 UTC
Apple Fourteen months ago I wrote an editorial, suggesting that Apple should create an ultra cheap machine to battle the PC world. On that article, I suggested some specs for the hypothetical "Strawberry" computer. As technology is moving on fast, I am now updating these specs. To get the idea though, please make sure you read last year's article before you read on this one.

@ Mike -- panther on a G3
by KadyMae on Sun 12th Sep 2004 16:06 UTC

PS. Does Panther run in G3? God that would be slow.>>

Panther's faster on a G3 than Jaguar was.

I have an iMac 350/320 with a slow ass 4400rpm harddrive that I use as my back up/test box.

When I put Panther on it, I stopwatched the boot to the login screen time at 50 seconds.

It took my dual 867/1.25 gigs of ram, 7200rpm harddrive Powermac 70 seconds to boot to the login screen in 10.2.8.

I also have an iBook 600/640 that's had OS X on it from 10.1 and 10.3 is downright snappy on it.
